Konica Minolta 5D vs Nikon D7100 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, its tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reading through specifications. The picture here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Minolta 5D and D7100.
To sum up, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon D7100 to resolve extra detail with its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Minolta 5D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
