Canon 60Da vs Canon SX730 HS

Let's look a little more in depth at the Canon 60Da vs Canon SX730 HS, former being a Advanced DSLR while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are created by Canon. The image resolution of the 60Da (18MP) and the SX730 HS (20.3MP) is very close but the 60Da (APS-C) and SX730 HS (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor sizes.

The 60Da was released 6 years prior to the SX730 HS and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Canon 60Da being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SX730 HS being a Compact camera.

Before going straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a quick overview of how the 60Da grades versus the SX730 HS for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 60Da & Canon PowerShot SX730 HS. The complete galleries are available at Canon 60Da Gallery & Canon SX730 HS Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera often, you'll need to factor in its weight and measurements.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you are employing at the time. Below is the front view size comparison of the 60Da versus the SX730 HS.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 60Da and SX730 HS is 59 and 88 respectively.

Normally, its hard to envision the contrast in sensor measurements purely by viewing technical specs. The photograph here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 60Da and SX730 HS.

As you have seen, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 60Da featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Canon SX730 HS will result in more detail as a result of its extra 2.3MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older 60Da will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
