Nikon P510 vs Nikon P80

Below, we are looking at the Nikon P510 vs Nikon P80, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras and both are created by Nikon. There exists a huge gap among the sensor resolutions of the P510 (16MP) and P80 (10MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor size (1/2.3").

The P510 was manufactured 3 years after the P80 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before going through a more detailed comparison, below is a simple view of how the P510 matches up vs the P80 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

When you are intending to travel with your camera often, you will have to take into account its weight and proportions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you use at that time. Following is the front view dimension comparison of the P510 compared to the P80.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the P510 and P80 is 66 and 75 respectively.

More often than not, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions merely by going through specifications. The pic underneath will help give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the P510 and P80.

To sum up, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should anticipate the Nikon P510 to produce extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images much more aggressively. The younger P510 should have an edge in sensor tech.
