Nikon D1H vs Nikon D6 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizes simply by going through specifications. The picture underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the D1H and D6.

Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The D1H using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon D6 will show greater detail with its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged D1H will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
