I have always used Nikon cameras but recently I was given a Canon camera (eos 550d) to work with.

When I use Nikon and I open my photos in photoshop the image size is for example 3600 x 2400 pixels but always with 300 dpi. Large and Fine Quality settings

When I use my Canon and I open my photos in photoshop the image is for example 3456 x 2304 pixels but always with 72 dpi. High Quality settings.

why is there this difference?

regards

You can completely disregard that 'difference' It really means nothing in real-life terms. I have well over 100,000 Canon images that show the 72dpi! I wish they wouldn't show the dpi!

Here's some reading you can look into:
