Canon 1100D vs Canon 80D Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it's hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes merely by checking out a spec sheet. The pic underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 1100D and 80D.
Clearly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon 80D to provide extra detail utilizing its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged 1100D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
