Nikon D750 vs Nikon D80 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing only by researching a spec sheet. The photograph below may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the D750 and D80.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The D750 featuring a bigger sensor will make getting bokeh easier and the Nikon D750 will render extra detail having its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The newer D750 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
