Usually, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions simply by checking specifications. The picture underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A490 and N.

To sum up, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You can expect to see the Canon N to give extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged A490 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
