Nikon A1000 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reviewing technical specs. The visual here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the A1000 and WX350.
As you can tell, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should count on the Sony WX350 to offer you extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern A1000 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
