Canon 700D vs Leica SL2 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by reviewing technical specs. The visual here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 700D and SL2.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 700D featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Leica SL2 will offer more detail due to its extra 29 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older 700D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
