Nikon D2Hs vs Nikon D6 Sensor Comparison
Often, it can be hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizes merely by going through technical specs. The pic underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the D2Hs and D6.
As you can tell, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The D2Hs featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Nikon D6 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 17MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged D2Hs will be behind in sensor innovation.
