Canon 60Da vs Canon 80D Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 60Da and 80D.
Clearly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon 80D to produce greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The older 60Da will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
