Nikon A10 vs Samsung SH100 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes merely by going over specifications. The image below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the A10 and SH100.

Plainly, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon A10 to offer more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more modern A10 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
