Nikon D2H vs Nikon D6 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reviewing technical specs. The image here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the D2H and D6.

As you have seen, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D2H having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Nikon D6 will offer extra detail because of its extra 17MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged D2H is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
