Canon ELPH 140 IS vs Nikon A100 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Often, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by checking out specs. The visual underneath may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the ELPH 140 IS and A100.
All in all, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Nikon A100 to produce extra detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older ELPH 140 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
