Canon 1100D vs Canon SL3 Sensor Comparison

Usually, its difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements only by looking at specifications. The photograph underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1100D and SL3.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Canon SL3 to resolve more detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older 1100D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
