Nikon D2Hs vs Nikon D5 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is tough to envision the difference in sensor measurements merely by going through technical specs. The photograph here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the D2Hs and D5.

As you can tell, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The D2Hs having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Nikon D5 will provide more detail with its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The older D2Hs will be behind in sensor innovation.
