Nikon D2X has a
12.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Nikon D2H has a
4.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.5 mm ) sized JFET sensor .
Nikon D2X's sensor provides 8MP more than Nikon D2H's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the D2X and D2H sensor size comparison.
Nikon D2X and Nikon D2H have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Nikon D2X and Nikon D2H sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, D2X has scored 59, 19 points higher than D2H.
