Canon A3200 IS vs Canon N100 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through specifications. The graphic underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the A3200 IS and N100.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The A3200 IS because of its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Canon A3200 IS will give you more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older A3200 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
