Canon 7D vs Nikon D100

Let's look more in depth at the Canon 7D vs Nikon D100, both Advanced DSLR cameras by rivals Canon and Nikon. There is a significant difference among the sensor resolutions of the 7D (18MP) and D100 (6MP) but both cameras have the identical sensor measurements (APS-C).

The 7D was unveiled 7 years later than the D100 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before going straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the 7D matches up vs the D100 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 7D and Nikon D100. The full galleries are viewable at Canon 7D Gallery and Nikon D100 Gallery.

When you are going to lug around your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Generally, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements just by going through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 7D and D100.

As you can see, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon 7D to provide extra detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher 7D provides an edge in sensor tech.
