Canon 60D vs Canon D30 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements only by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 60D and D30.
Clearly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon 60D to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images much more aggressively. The more recent 60D is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
