Nikon D2H has a
4.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.5 mm ) sized JFET sensor . On the other hand, Nikon D1 has a
3.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.5 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the D2H and D1 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon D2H and Nikon D1 Cameras
Nikon D2H and Nikon D1 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Nikon D1 has 53% larger pixel area (140.21µm 2 vs 91.38µm 2 ) compared to Nikon D2H, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Nikon D2H
or the
Nikon D1 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
