Canon 60D vs Konica Minolta 7D Sensor Comparison

As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon 60D to give more detail using its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The younger 60D will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
