Canon 60D vs Canon 7D MII Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes only by checking specs. The image here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 60D and 7D MII.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon 7D MII to give you more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged 60D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
