Nikon S8000 vs Nikon S800c Sensor Comparison
Often, its difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements only by looking through specs. The photograph below might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the S8000 and S800c.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You can expect to see the Nikon S800c to render greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The older S8000 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
