Nikon D7500 vs Nikon Df Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading specifications. The image below should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the D7500 and Df.

Plainly, the 2 cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D7500 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Nikon D7500 will deliver extra detail because of its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics more aggressively. The fresher D7500 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
