Re: 8 Years later and it still is going strong

There was a big jump in sensor quality for the 550D (T2i), and this sensor has remained essentially unchanged for the 600D, 650D and 700D. The following crops were taken from DPReview sample galleries:

D500 at ISO 100

D550 at ISO 100

D600 at ISO 100

D650 at ISO 100

And for a quick comparison, Nikon D3200 at ISO 100

I think the difference in Canon and Nikon is due more to excessive noise processing by Canon to make up for the older technology than the sensors themselves. Elsewhere I have noticed that this Canon processing creates more contrast, and smudges some detail. Although here the Nikon image has some odd brown smudges.
