Canon ELPH 135 vs Nikon D6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing simply by seeing specs. The graphic here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the ELPH 135 and D6.
As you can plainly see, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The ELPH 135 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Nikon D6 will produce extra detail having its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older ELPH 135 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
