Canon 1100D vs Nikon D1X Sensor Comparison

As you can tell, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You can anticipate the Canon 1100D to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 7MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent 1100D provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
