Canon 650D vs Pentax KF Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The graphic underneath might offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 650D and KF.

Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can expect the Pentax KF to resolve extra detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The older 650D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
