Canon 450D vs Canon 650D Sensor Comparison
Generally, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements just by going through specs. The photograph here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 450D and 650D.
All in all, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should count on the Canon 650D to show greater detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The older 450D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
