Canon 750D vs Pentax Q7 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements purely by checking out specifications. The graphic below should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 750D and Q7.

Plainly, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 750D because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Canon 750D will produce extra detail having its extra 12MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots more aggressively. The fresher 750D should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
