Canon 350D vs Nikon D3500 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing purely by viewing specifications. The visual here might give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 350D and D3500.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon D3500 to result in more detail using its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older 350D will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
