Canon 1100D vs Canon 300D Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes purely by seeing specs. The pic here should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1100D and 300D.

All in all, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon 1100D to produce more detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more recent 1100D will have a benefit in sensor technology.
