Canon A1300 vs Canon N100 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, its tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading a spec sheet. The image underneath should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the A1300 and N100.
As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The A1300 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Canon A1300 will offer you greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged A1300 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
