Nikon P7000 vs Nikon S8000 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions just by seeing specs. The pic below should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the P7000 and S8000.
As you can plainly see, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The P7000 using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon S8000 will provide more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively.
