Canon 60D vs Canon SL3 Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be tough to envision the difference between sensor sizes only by reading specifications. The image here might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 60D and SL3.

To sum up, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Canon SL3 to offer extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The more aged 60D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
