Nikon S01 vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is difficult to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing specifications. The pic underneath will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S01 and TX200V.

Plainly, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S01 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony TX200V will offer extra detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger S01 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
