Canon 7D MII vs Sigma SD14 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is tough to visualize the difference between sensor measurements only by reviewing technical specs. The photograph here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 7D MII and SD14.

As you can tell, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You can anticipate the Canon 7D MII to offer you more detail having its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger 7D MII should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
