Nikon L28 vs Nikon L810 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes only by going through a spec sheet. The picture here will give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the L28 and L810.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon L28 to provide greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The fresher L28 is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
