Canon 7D vs Fujifilm SL240 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it can be tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by researching specs. The photograph here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 7D and Fujifilm SL240.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 7D with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Canon 7D will provide you with more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older 7D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
