Canon A2300 vs Canon D10 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions merely by going over specs. The picture underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2300 and D10.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Canon A2300 to offer extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The fresher A2300 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
