Sometimes, it can be hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph below might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the P1000 and SP-810 UZ.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Nikon P1000 to offer you greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The fresher P1000 provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
