Canon 1200D vs Olympus E-450 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reading a spec sheet. The pic here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1200D and E-450.

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 1200D featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 1200D will offer greater detail utilizing its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger 1200D should have an edge in sensor technology.
