Nikon P900 vs Olympus 1 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing simply by going over technical specs. The visual here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the P900 and 1.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The P900 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh tougher and the Nikon P900 will deliver more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern P900 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
