Nikon P90 vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the P90 and H200.

Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Sony H200 to give you extra detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older P90 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
