Canon ELPH 100 HS vs Canon 70D Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is hard to picture the gap in sensor sizes purely by researching specifications. The picture here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the ELPH 100 HS and 70D.

Plainly, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The ELPH 100 HS featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Canon 70D will result in more detail having its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 100 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
