Nikon P530 vs Nikon P80 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing purely by researching technical specs. The visual underneath will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the P530 and P80.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should count on the Nikon P530 to result in more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher P530 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
