Nikon D2H vs Nikon D4s Sensor Comparison

Normally, its difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching technical specs. The graphic below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the D2H and D4s.

As you can tell, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The D2H because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Nikon D4s will render extra detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics more aggressively. The older D2H will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
