Canon M200 vs Nikon 1 J3 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be tough to picture the difference in sensor measurements purely by checking out specifications. The visual underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the M200 and 1 J3.

To sum up, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M200 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Canon M200 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger M200 should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
