Like all EOS models, the 1100D records in both JPEG and CR2 raw format, and images measure 4272×2848 pixels at their highest resolution. The 14-bit Digic 4 processor, found in all other current Canon DSLRs, is an improvement over the last generation 12-bit processor found in the 1000D and should ensure fine colour reproduction. 4272 x 2848 5184 x 3456 Sensor Sensor type CMOS CMOS Sensor size 22.2 x 14.8 mm 22.3 x 14.9 mm Sensor resolution 4278 x 2852 5196 x 3464 Diagonal 26.68 mm 26.82 mm Actual sensor size Note: Actual size is set to screen → change » Surface area: 328.56 mm² vs 332.27 mm² Difference: 3.71 mm² (1%) Specifications Ted's Cameras Buy Canon EOS 1100D RRP: $699 (body only); $849 (as reviewed with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens) Build 8.5 Ease of use 9.0 Autofocusing 8.5 Photo quality JPEG 8.5 Photo quality RAW 9.0 Video quality 8.0 Photo Review 9 leadpic_EOS_1100D Full review leadpic_EOS_1100D Pixel Size: Pixels/Megapixels: Viewfinder: DLA * Canon PowerShot G1 X: 1.9x: 18.7 x 14.0mm: 4.3µm: 4352 x 3264: 14.3 : f/6.9: Canon PowerShot G12: 4.7x: 7.4 x 5.6mm: 2.7µm: 3648 x 2048: 10.0 : f/4.3: Canon PowerShot G9: 4.7x: 7.6 x 5.7mm: 2.5µm: 4000 x 3000: 12.1 : f/4.0: Canon EOS M: 1.6x: 22.3 x 14.9mm: 4.3µm: 5184 x 3456: 18.0 : f/6.8 At a pixel level the EOS 1100D's performance is pretty much typical for this class of camera. The differences in nominal resolution between cameras at this level is pretty much negligible in real-world use and the 1100D's image detail and resolution are on par with the closest competitors.
