Canon 60Da vs Sigma SD14 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its tough to see the gap in sensor measurements merely by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 60Da and SD14.

As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Canon 60Da to provide you with greater detail because of its extra 13MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern 60Da is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
