To sum up, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should expect to see the Canon 1100D to deliver extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more recent 1100D should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
