Canon N vs Canon S200 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes just by checking specs. The image here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the N and S200.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The N because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Canon N will resolve greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged N is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
