Nikon S1100pj vs Sony T900 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon S1100pj to provide more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer S1100pj is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
