Nikon P900 vs Olympus VR-330 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by viewing technical specs. The pic here may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the P900 and VR-330.
As you have seen, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Nikon P900 to render extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The newer P900 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
