Canon 20D vs Nikon D7200 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements purely by researching technical specs. The visual here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 20D and D7200.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Nikon D7200 to provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 16MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older 20D will be behind in sensor tech.
