Oh sorry Marvin...i was referring to the CMOS sensors in the cameras, the chips that processes the images. As far as photography enthusiasts told me, both Nikon and Canon has different sensor sizes for their various ranges. Those that are single-numbered series, i.e. the high-end camera series for professionals, would have the full-sized CMOS sensors, and thus producing the best image qualities. In the case of Canon the 1Dx series would be their best guns producing the best image qualities - and their most expensive ones.

Again with Canon, the four-numbered series, i.e. the 1000D cameras would be the entry level ones, with reasonably good picture quality for everyday uses. But i attest that when it comes to paintings, the rendering differences do show up between 1000D and the 1Dx, or even with the 5D cameras.
