Nikon A10 vs Sony W350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizes just by seeing a spec sheet. The pic here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the A10 and W350.
Clearly, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Nikon A10 to provide greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The fresher A10 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
