Nikon S8200 vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Typically, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor sizing just by reading specifications. The graphic here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the S8200 and H200.
Plainly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Sony H200 to offer extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older S8200 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
