Canon 60Da vs Nikon L32

Let's look a little more in depth at the Canon 60Da versus Nikon L32, one is a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Ultracompact by competitors Canon and Nikon. The image resolution of the 60Da (18MP) and the L32 (20MP) is very comparable but the 60Da (APS-C) and L32 (1/2.3") have totally different sensor size.

The 60Da was revealed 3 years prior to the L32 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon 60Da being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Nikon L32 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before going right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the 60Da matches up versus the L32 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 60Da and Nikon Coolpix L32. The full galleries are available at Canon 60Da Gallery and Nikon L32 Gallery.

If you are planning to carry around your camera frequently, you will need to factor in its weight and proportions.

Typically, it is tough to see the difference in sensor sizes just by going through specifications. The pic here may provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 60Da and L32.

Plainly, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 60Da with its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Nikon L32 will show greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged 60Da will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
