Canon 60Da vs Nikon Df Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizing simply by going over specifications. The visual here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 60Da and Df.

Plainly, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 60Da using its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Canon 60Da will offer more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The older 60Da is going to be behind in sensor tech.
