Canon D10 vs Nikon S8000 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading through specifications. The graphic underneath should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the D10 and S8000.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Nikon S8000 to give you more detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older D10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
