Canon 10D vs Nikon D600 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading specifications. The image here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 10D and D600.

Plainly, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 10D using its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Nikon D600 will deliver greater detail using its extra 18MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged 10D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
