Nikon L810 vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by reviewing technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the L810 and H200.

As you have seen, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can expect the Sony H200 to offer you extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older L810 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
