Nikon L100 vs Nikon P1000 Sensor Comparison

All in all, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can count on the Nikon P1000 to produce extra detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged L100 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
