Nikon P1000 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes simply by researching technical specs. The pic here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the P1000 and WX350.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony WX350 to render extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The newer P1000 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
