Canon G9 X vs Canon N100 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor sizing merely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the G9 X and N100.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G9 X having a bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Canon G9 X will provide greater detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more modern G9 X is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
