Let's look a little more closely at the Nikon L810 vs Sony H300, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by manufacturers Nikon and Sony. The resolution of the L810 (16MP) and the H300 (20MP) is fairly well matched and they enjoy the same exact sensor sizing (1/2.3").

Before we go through a in depth comparison, below is a brief summation of how the L810 matches up vs the H300 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Normally, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic below should offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the L810 and H300.

Clearly, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony H300 to resolve more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older L810 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
