Canon 1100D vs Pentax KF Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The image underneath might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 1100D and KF.

Clearly, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Pentax KF to resolve more detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged 1100D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
