Canon M vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements merely by checking out technical specs. The photograph underneath should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the M and Quattro H.

As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sigma Quattro H will produce greater detail due to its extra 27MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older M will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
