Canon ELPH 130 vs Nikon A100 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Often, it can be difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The pic here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the ELPH 130 and A100.
As you can see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon A100 to produce extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 130 will be behind in sensor tech.
