Nikon D100 vs Nikon D200 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its difficult to see the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading through specifications. The photograph here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the D100 and D200.

Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon D200 to give greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The older D100 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
