Nikon D2H vs Nikon D80 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing merely by checking technical specs. The graphic here might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the D2H and D80.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but different MP. You should anticipate the Nikon D80 to resolve more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The older D2H is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
