Nikon A10 vs Samsung ST65 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by going through a spec sheet. The picture here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the A10 and ST65.

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon A10 to provide more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer A10 will have an edge in sensor innovation.
