Canon 350D vs Leica SL2-S Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to see the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The photograph here should offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 350D and SL2-S.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 350D due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Leica SL2-S will deliver extra detail utilizing its extra 16MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older 350D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
