Canon D10 vs Sony H90 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it's hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The picture here might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the D10 and H90.

Clearly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Sony H90 to resolve extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged D10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
