Canon 7D vs Nikon D600 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, its tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading specs. The visual here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 7D and D600.
All in all, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 7D due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Nikon D600 will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older 7D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
