Nikon P1000 vs Samsung HZ25W Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the P1000 and HZ25W.

As you can see, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Nikon P1000 to offer you more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent P1000 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
