Nikon P310 vs Nikon P340 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The picture underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the P310 and P340.

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The P310 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Nikon P310 will deliver extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged P310 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
