Canon A2200 vs Nikon L26 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by going over specifications. The image below may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2200 and L26.

Plainly, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon L26 to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged A2200 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
