Canon G12 vs Canon N Facebook ready Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions simply by going through technical specs. The image below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G12 and N Facebook ready.

As you can tell, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G12 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon N Facebook ready will produce extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged G12 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
