I couldn't find this information collected online anywhere, so I threw together a google doc, with pretty colour coding.
It includes the following information, for Canon EOS digital camera bodies to date:
* Exact resolution
* Exact sensor size - APS-C means different things on different bodies, and not even all full-frame sensors are quite the same size.
* Percent variation from sensor category size - i.e. how far off it is from being actually full-frame, etc.
* Pixel pitch
* Pixel size - some bodies have gaps between pixels so this is only a maximum potential figure.
* Actual sensor aspect ratio - not all are exactly 3:2.
* Actual image aspect ratio - not all are exactly 3:2, nor the same as their physical aspect ratio.
* Vertical stretch - how much the image aspect ratio diverges from the physical sensor aspect ratio, some diverge by up to 0.5%
Canon DSLR sensor size & pixel pitch comparison
It's currently sorted by pixel pitch.
If I've missed any bodies, or if any of the info is inaccurate, let me know.

Now can you do one for Nikon...?
:) |

| Looks great! From what I can see and am familiar with, I think your numbers are right on the money. One minor tweak I would suggest is going to 3 significant digits on the pixel pitch, e.g. 6.54 µm |

Cool...now add all the other camera sensors! Nikon an Fuji at least :)
What do the colors mean? |

| Very cool. Might want to move the 5D down from Row 6 to be with 5D2 and 5D3? |

If I start adding other brands, I'd be working on this all year! However, if anyone wants to create a similar spreadsheet for other brands I'll happily merge their results in to this one with appropriate credit.

They're just there for visual distinction, with overall green being better and red being worse for most columns - but that doesn't always apply in such a black and white way, for instance in some cases a denser pixel pitch is to be preferred, but in terms of noise performance larger pixels are generally better.
Some might prefer tighter crop factors, but I've set larger sensors to be greener due to the prevailing preference for full frame - this is subjective though.
All cases of divergence from expected specs are marked in red, the greater the divergence the deeper the red; for instance if you expect your 7D Mark II's sensor to be 3:2, you may be surprised to find it's actually 3:2.009, so this is in red. Doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, just different to the expected spec. The exception here is divergence from sensor size class; when the sensor is larger than its class (for example, the 1D Mark II's sensor is 3.6% larger than the advertised APS-H spec), this is marked in green, again in line with the predominant preference for larger sensors. Again, subjective.
On the bodies, the 1D series are green because they're good and the rebel series are red because they're plastic trash. This one's an objective measure ;)

Good suggestion, done.

They're sorted automatically by pixel pitch, so I don't get to decide where they go.

| Very interesting. Thanks. If only I had enough green stuff for the green stuff.... |
