Canon D10 vs Nikon S6000 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's hard to see the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the D10 and S6000.

Clearly, both cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon S6000 to provide more detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The older D10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
