Canon 1100D vs Canon 650D Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through specs. The photograph here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 1100D and 650D.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Canon 650D to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older 1100D is going to be behind in sensor technology.
