Canon 10D vs Nikon D200 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking specs. The image below will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 10D and D200.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon D200 to give more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged 10D is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
