18.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.16 x 4.62 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the W830 and S9500 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony W830 and Nikon S9500 Cameras
Sony W830 and Nikon S9500 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.
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
Sony W830
or the
Nikon S9500 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
