Canon 10D vs Nikon D7500 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions just by checking out technical specs. The pic here will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 10D and D7500.

As you have seen, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Nikon D7500 to provide greater detail because of its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 10D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
