Canon 600D vs Nikon D200 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Canon 600D to deliver greater detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher 600D is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
