Nikon P7800 vs Nikon S8000 Sensor Comparison
Often, it can be tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizes merely by reading technical specs. The pic here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the P7800 and S8000.
As you have seen, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The P7800 having a larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Nikon S8000 will offer extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more recent P7800 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
