Nikon D200 vs Nikon Df Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The photograph underneath might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the D200 and Df.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The D200 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon Df will resolve extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The older D200 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
