Nikon P7000 vs Sony H50 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading through a spec sheet. The image below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the P7000 and H50.

As you can see, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The P7000 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Nikon P7000 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger P7000 provides an edge in sensor technology.
