Canon 5D vs Nikon D750 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading through a spec sheet. The image below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 5D and D750.

Clearly, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Nikon D750 to give you more detail because of its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged 5D is going to be behind in sensor technology.
