Canon SX200 IS vs Nikon P7000 Sensor Comparison
Often, it is very tough to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The photograph here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX200 IS and P7000.
To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX200 IS with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Canon SX200 IS will give greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older SX200 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
