Sensor size comparison
Sensor size is generally a good indicator of the quality of the camera.
Sensors can vary greatly in size. As a general rule, the bigger the
sensor, the better the image quality.
Bigger sensors are more effective because they have more surface area to capture light. An important factor when comparing digital cameras is also camera generation. Generally, newer sensors will outperform the older.

80D sensor is slightly bigger than Digital Rebel XT sensor (only 3% difference).
Note: You are comparing sensors of vastly different generations.
There is a gap of 11 years between Canon Digital Rebel XT (2005) and
Canon 80D (2016).
Eleven years is a huge amount of time,
technology wise, resulting in newer sensor being much more
efficient than the older one.
Pixel pitch tells you the distance from the center of one pixel (photosite) to the center of the next. It tells you how close the pixels are to each other.
The bigger the pixel pitch, the further apart they are and the bigger each pixel is. Bigger pixels tend to have better signal to noise ratio and greater dynamic range.
The bigger the pixel pitch, the further apart they are and the bigger each pixel is. Bigger pixels tend to have better signal to noise ratio and greater dynamic range.
Pixel or photosite area affects how much light per pixel can be gathered.
The larger it is the more light can be collected by a single pixel.
Larger pixels have the potential to collect more photons, resulting in greater dynamic range, while smaller pixels provide higher resolutions (more detail) for a given sensor size.

A pixel on Canon Digital Rebel XT sensor is approx. 195% bigger than a pixel on Canon 80D.
Pixel density tells you how many million pixels fit or would fit in one
square cm of the sensor.
Higher pixel density means smaller pixels and lower pixel density means larger pixels.
Higher pixel density means smaller pixels and lower pixel density means larger pixels.

Diagonal
Diagonal is calculated by the use of Pythagorean theorem:
where w = sensor width and h = sensor height
| Diagonal = √ | w² + h² |
Canon Digital Rebel XT diagonal
w = 22.20 mm
h = 14.80 mm
h = 14.80 mm
| Diagonal = √ | 22.20² + 14.80² | = 26.68 mm |
Canon 80D diagonal
w = 22.50 mm
h = 15.00 mm
h = 15.00 mm
| Diagonal = √ | 22.50² + 15.00² | = 27.04 mm |
Surface area
Surface area is calculated by multiplying the width and the height of a sensor.
Digital Rebel XT sensor area
Width = 22.20 mm
Height = 14.80 mm
Surface area = 22.20 × 14.80 = 328.56 mm²
Height = 14.80 mm
Surface area = 22.20 × 14.80 = 328.56 mm²
80D sensor area
Width = 22.50 mm
Height = 15.00 mm
Surface area = 22.50 × 15.00 = 337.50 mm²
Height = 15.00 mm
Surface area = 22.50 × 15.00 = 337.50 mm²
Pixel pitch
Pixel pitch is the distance from the center of one pixel to the center of the
next measured in micrometers (µm). It can be calculated with the following formula:
| Pixel pitch = | sensor width in mm | × 1000 |
| sensor resolution width in pixels |
Digital Rebel XT pixel pitch
Sensor width = 22.20 mm
Sensor resolution width = 3464 pixels
Sensor resolution width = 3464 pixels
| Pixel pitch = | 22.20 | × 1000 | = 6.41 µm |
| 3464 |
80D pixel pitch
Sensor width = 22.50 mm
Sensor resolution width = 6026 pixels
Sensor resolution width = 6026 pixels
| Pixel pitch = | 22.50 | × 1000 | = 3.73 µm |
| 6026 |
Pixel area
The area of one pixel can be calculated by simply squaring the pixel pitch:
You could also divide sensor surface area with effective megapixels:
Pixel area = pixel pitch²
You could also divide sensor surface area with effective megapixels:
| Pixel area = | sensor surface area in mm² |
| effective megapixels |
Digital Rebel XT pixel area
Pixel pitch = 6.41 µm
Pixel area = 6.41² = 41.09 µm²
Pixel area = 6.41² = 41.09 µm²
80D pixel area
Pixel pitch = 3.73 µm
Pixel area = 3.73² = 13.91 µm²
Pixel area = 3.73² = 13.91 µm²
Pixel density
Pixel density can be calculated with the following formula:
One could also use this formula:
| Pixel density = ( | sensor resolution width in pixels | )² / 1000000 |
| sensor width in cm |
One could also use this formula:
| Pixel density = | effective megapixels × 1000000 | / 10000 |
| sensor surface area in mm² |
Digital Rebel XT pixel density
Sensor resolution width = 3464 pixels
Sensor width = 2.22 cm
Pixel density = (3464 / 2.22)² / 1000000 = 2.43 MP/cm²
Sensor width = 2.22 cm
Pixel density = (3464 / 2.22)² / 1000000 = 2.43 MP/cm²
80D pixel density
Sensor resolution width = 6026 pixels
Sensor width = 2.25 cm
Pixel density = (6026 / 2.25)² / 1000000 = 7.17 MP/cm²
Sensor width = 2.25 cm
Pixel density = (6026 / 2.25)² / 1000000 = 7.17 MP/cm²
Sensor resolution
Sensor resolution is calculated from sensor size and effective megapixels. It's slightly higher
than maximum (not interpolated) image resolution which is usually stated on camera specifications.
Sensor resolution is used in pixel pitch, pixel area, and pixel density formula.
For sake of simplicity, we're going to calculate it in 3 stages.
1. First we need to find the ratio between horizontal and vertical length by dividing the former with the latter (aspect ratio). It's usually 1.33 (4:3) or 1.5 (3:2), but not always.
2. With the ratio (r) known we can calculate the X from the formula below, where X is a vertical number of pixels:
3. To get sensor resolution we then multiply X with the corresponding ratio:
Resolution horizontal: X × r
Resolution vertical: X

2. With the ratio (r) known we can calculate the X from the formula below, where X is a vertical number of pixels:
| (X × r) × X = effective megapixels × 1000000 → |
|
Resolution horizontal: X × r
Resolution vertical: X
Digital Rebel XT sensor resolution
Sensor width = 22.20 mm
Sensor height = 14.80 mm
Effective megapixels = 8.00
Resolution horizontal: X × r = 2309 × 1.5 = 3464
Resolution vertical: X = 2309
Sensor resolution = 3464 x 2309
Sensor height = 14.80 mm
Effective megapixels = 8.00
| r = 22.20/14.80 = 1.5 |
|
Resolution vertical: X = 2309
Sensor resolution = 3464 x 2309
80D sensor resolution
Sensor width = 22.50 mm
Sensor height = 15.00 mm
Effective megapixels = 24.20
Resolution horizontal: X × r = 4017 × 1.5 = 6026
Resolution vertical: X = 4017
Sensor resolution = 6026 x 4017
Sensor height = 15.00 mm
Effective megapixels = 24.20
| r = 22.50/15.00 = 1.5 |
|
Resolution vertical: X = 4017
Sensor resolution = 6026 x 4017
Crop factor
Crop factor or focal length multiplier is calculated by dividing the diagonal
of 35 mm film (43.27 mm) with the diagonal of the sensor.
| Crop factor = | 43.27 mm |
| sensor diagonal in mm |
Digital Rebel XT crop factor
Sensor diagonal in mm = 26.68 mm
| Crop factor = | 43.27 | = 1.62 |
| 26.68 |
80D crop factor
Sensor diagonal in mm = 27.04 mm
| Crop factor = | 43.27 | = 1.6 |
| 27.04 |
35 mm equivalent aperture
Equivalent aperture (in 135 film terms) is calculated by multiplying lens aperture
with crop factor (a.k.a. focal length multiplier).
Digital Rebel XT equivalent aperture
Aperture is a lens characteristic, so it's calculated only for
fixed lens cameras. If you want to know the equivalent aperture for
Canon Digital Rebel XT, take the aperture of the lens
you're using and multiply it with crop factor.
