Canon 5D MII vs Panasonic L10 Sensor Comparison

Usually, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing only by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 5D MII and L10.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 5D MII with its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 5D MII will offer extra detail with its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The younger 5D MII is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
