Canon 60D vs Nikon S4300 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it can be hard to picture the difference between sensor measurements only by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 60D and S4300.
Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 60D having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 60D will offer more detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older 60D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
