Canon 77D vs Nikon P610 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing merely by reviewing specifications. The visual here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 77D and P610.

Plainly, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 77D because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 77D will offer extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The fresher 77D should have a benefit in sensor technology.
