Canon 5D vs Nikon D7200 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing just by checking out specs. The photograph below might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 5D and D7200.

As you can plainly see, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 5D having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Nikon D7200 will show more detail using its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images far more aggressively. The older 5D will be behind in sensor tech.
