Canon 77D vs Pentax K-S1 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing specifications. The image below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 77D and K-S1.

Plainly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon 77D to deliver extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more modern 77D is going to have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
