Nikon P7000 vs Sony W620 Sensor Comparison
Often, it can be difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The picture below should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the P7000 and W620.
As you can see, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The P7000 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony W620 will give you greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged P7000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
