Canon 10D vs Canon 80D Sensor Comparison

More often than not, its difficult to see the difference between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The photograph here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 10D and 80D.

Plainly, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon 80D to offer you more detail because of its extra 18MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older 10D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
