What is the sensor size of the Nikon D2H?

The Nikon D2H is a digital camera that has an APS-C sensor at its core. This imager measures 23.3mm in width and 15.5mm in height, so that the total imaging area of the sensor amounts to 361 mm².

The D2H provides an image resolution of 4 megapixels, based on 2 464 horizontal pixels and 1 632 vertical pixels.

Sensor size comparison with a film slide

The sensor diagonal measures 28mm, which gives rise to a format factor (or crop factor) of 1.5. Hence, the Nikon D2H is a crop-sensor camera, as its sensor is smaller than a traditional 35mm film slide or negative.

Sensor specs and performance

The table below compares the sensor specs of the Nikon D2H to those of several similar cameras. The reported DXO values are indicators of the sensor's imaging quality (higher is better), covering color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape), and high-ISO noise (DXO Sports). Larger sensor cameras tend to outperform cameras of the same generation that are equipped with a smaller imager. On the other hand, larger sensors are more expensive and require bigger and heavier lenses than smaller light receptors.
