Canon N100 vs Nikon S5300 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions merely by checking out specifications. The pic here might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the N100 and S5300.
Plainly, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The N100 with its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Nikon S5300 will produce more detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively.
