Nikon D1H vs Nikon D2X Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading through specifications. The pic below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the D1H and D2X.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon D2X to give more detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged D1H is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
