The large amount of Hubble Space Telescope near-infrared imaging done in the GOODS-South field in both NICMOS and now WFC3 IR allows us to make a comparison and to some degree a calibration of how well one may assume the measurements made from data taken with one camera may be related to similar measurements of objects in earlier publications and/or other fields where data from only one camera are present. We are performing such a comparison on the H-band data from the GNS GOODS-South observations and the CANDELS WFC3 IR data on the same field. In all of these comparisons, despite some possible differences due to the detector resolution, efficiency, filter throughput, and resulting SExtractor catalogs, etc. for given objects, we will be comparing data on the same galaxies which were imaged with different cameras in the same basic bandpass, using standard quantitative morphological parameters. From this, one may be able to determine how well one can in general extrapolate measurements of objects made with one camera to those made with the other in various fields across the sky, and this may offer some guidance for interpretation of reliability of morphological results when reading older papers or measuring morphological parameters where only NICMOS data is available, for example.
