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.

Viewfinder specs and view. The EOS 1100D appears to use the same viewfinder as the 1000D - it's rather small for today's standards but the most essential shooting parameters are visible underneath. The exposure level display along the bottom stretches to +/- 2.0 EV and you get ISO and White Balance information.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%) iI69Fm.
