Canon 350D vs Canon G7 X Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be tough to see the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading a spec sheet. The visual below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 350D and G7 X.

As you can see, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 350D using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Canon G7 X will offer you extra detail using its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images far more aggressively. The older 350D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
