Canon N100 vs Sony W370 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements only by viewing specifications. The photograph underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the N100 and W370.

To sum up, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The N100 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony W370 will result in extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The newer N100 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
