Nikon D1H vs Nikon D2H Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading specs. The pic underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the D1H and D2H.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Nikon D2H to deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged D1H is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
