Canon 600D vs Sony A200 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading technical specs. The picture below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 600D and A200.
As you can tell, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon 600D to offer you extra detail utilizing its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The younger 600D will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
