Canon 77D vs Nikon D800E Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes only by seeing technical specs. The image here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 77D and D800E.

As you can tell, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 77D with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh tougher and the Nikon D800E will provide more detail because of its extra 12MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The younger 77D should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
