Canon N100 vs Nikon S33 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions just by going over specs. The pic here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the N100 and S33.

All in all, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The N100 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon S33 will offer more detail with its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged N100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
