Sometimes, it can be hard to imagine the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the P900 and SP-590 UZ.

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon P900 to offer extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent P900 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
