Canon 700D vs Canon SX420 IS

Let's look more closely at the Canon 700D versus Canon SX420 IS, former is a Entry-Level DSLR while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both are manufactured by Canon. The sensor resolution of the 700D (18MP) and the SX420 IS (20MP) is fairly well matched but the 700D (APS-C) and SX420 IS (1/2.3") boast totally different sensor sizing.

The 700D was revealed 3 years before the SX420 IS which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Canon 700D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon SX420 IS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go into a more detailed comparison, here is a short summation of how the 700D matches up against the SX420 IS in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 700D & Canon PowerShot SX420 IS. The full galleries are provided at Canon 700D Gallery & Canon SX420 IS Gallery.

In case you're going to travel with your camera, you're going to have to consider its weight and measurements. The Canon 700D offers outside measurements of 133mm x 100mm x 79mm (5.2" x 3.9" x 3.1") and a weight of 580 grams (1.28 lbs) and the Canon SX420 IS has proportions of 104mm x 69mm x 85mm (4.1" x 2.7" x 3.3") along with a weight of 325 grams (0.72 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you have chosen during that time. The following is a front view size comparison of the 700D against the SX420 IS.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 700D and SX420 IS is 65 and 80 respectively.

Normally, it is difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions just by reading through specs. The pic below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 700D and SX420 IS.

All in all, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 700D using its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon SX420 IS will resolve greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images more aggressively. The more aged 700D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
