Canon 700D vs Nikon D3100 Sensor Comparison
Typically, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements just by checking out a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 700D and D3100.
Clearly, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Canon 700D to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The fresher 700D should have an advantage in sensor tech.
