Canon N100 vs Sony H70 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions just by viewing a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the N100 and H70.

Clearly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The N100 with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony H70 will render more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer N100 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
