Canon A2500 vs Nikon P7000 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizes only by viewing a spec sheet. The picture here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the A2500 and P7000.

Clearly, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The A2500 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon A2500 will provide you with extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The younger A2500 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
