Nikon D2H vs Nikon D2X Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The photograph here might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the D2H and D2X.

To sum up, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Nikon D2X to offer you extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older D2H is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
