Canon 700D vs Nikon D5000

Let's examine more in depth at the Canon 700D and Nikon D5000, both Entry-Level DSLR cameras by companies Canon and Nikon. There exists a significant gap among the resolutions of the 700D (18MP) and D5000 (12MP) but they feature the exact same sensor sizes (APS-C).

The 700D was introduced 4 years later than the D5000 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before diving straight into a full comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the 700D scores versus the D5000 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Quite often, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing purely by going through technical specs. The visual below may offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 700D and D5000.

As you have seen, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Canon 700D to produce extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The fresher 700D will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
