Nikon P90 vs Nikon D2Xs

Here is a in-depth overview of the Nikon P90 versus Nikon D2Xs, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Pro DSLR and they are both offered by Nikon. The image resolution of the P90 (12MP) and the D2Xs (12MP) is pretty well matched but the P90 (1/2.3") and D2Xs (APS-C) use totally different sensor sizes.

The P90 was launched 2 years later than the D2Xs and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Nikon P90 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Nikon D2Xs being a Large SLR camera.

Before we go through a complete comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the P90 scores vs the D2Xs when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Coolpix P90 & Nikon D2Xs. The complete galleries are provided at Nikon P90 Gallery & Nikon D2Xs Gallery.

More often than not, its hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the P90 and D2Xs.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same megapixels albeit not the same sensor sizing. The P90 offers the tinier sensor which will make achieving shallow DOF more challenging. The more modern P90 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
