Nikon L22 vs Nikon L24 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes purely by looking through technical specs. The picture here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the L22 and L24.

As you can tell, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Nikon L24 to provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images far more aggressively. The more aged L22 will be behind in sensor technology.
