Canon A2200 vs Nikon S100 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking specifications. The photograph here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the A2200 and S100.

Plainly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon S100 to give you extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older A2200 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
