Here, we will be analyzing the Nikon P1000 versus Sony H200, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by brands Nikon and Sony. The resolution of the P1000 (16MP) and the H200 (20MP) is pretty close and both cameras provide the identical sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The P1000 was released 5 years after the H200 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the P1000 grades against the H200 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Coolpix P1000 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200. The complete galleries are provided at Nikon P1000 Gallery and Sony H200 Gallery.

For those who are going to carry around your camera, you'll have to take into account its weight and volume. The Nikon P1000 comes with outside measurements of 146mm x 119mm x 181mm (5.7" x 4.7" x 7.1") accompanied by a weight of 1415 grams (3.12 lbs) while the Sony H200 has sizing of 123mm x 83mm x 87mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 3.4") with a weight of 530 grams (1.17 lbs).

Normally, its hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes merely by researching specifications. The pic here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the P1000 and H200.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Sony H200 to render more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more modern P1000 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
