Nikon A1000 vs Olympus SP-810 UZ Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions merely by looking through specifications. The pic here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the A1000 and SP-810 UZ.

To sum up, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon A1000 to render greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher A1000 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
