Canon N Facebook ready vs Nikon S3500 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image underneath will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the N Facebook ready and S3500.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon S3500 to produce more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer N Facebook ready provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
