Canon 700D vs Sony A68 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing merely by checking out specifications. The graphic here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 700D and A68.

To sum up, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Sony A68 to produce greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older 700D will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
