Sony A350 vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching technical specs. The visual underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the A350 and H200.

As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A350 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony H200 will result in greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older A350 will be behind in sensor technology.
