Canon 650D vs Sony A200 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes only by looking through a spec sheet. The image underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 650D and A200.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon 650D to result in greater detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent 650D is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
