Canon 760D vs Canon SX70 HS

Here, we are evaluating the Canon 760D and Canon SX70 HS, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both created by Canon. The resolution of the 760D (24MP) and the SX70 HS (20MP) is fairly well matched but the 760D (APS-C) and SX70 HS (1/2.3") have different sensor measurements.

The 760D was brought out 4 years prior to the SX70 HS and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon 760D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon SX70 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the 760D matches up against the SX70 HS in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 760D and Canon PowerShot SX70 HS. The entire galleries are provided at Canon 760D Gallery and Canon SX70 HS Gallery.

When you are planning to lug around your camera regularly, you're going to have to think about its weight and measurements. The Canon 760D has outside measurements of 132mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.2" x 4.0" x 3.1") having a weight of 565 grams (1.25 lbs) and the Canon SX70 HS has proportions of 127mm x 91mm x 117mm (5.0" x 3.6" x 4.6") along with a weight of 608 grams (1.34 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you choose during that time. Underneath is a front view sizing comparison of the 760D versus the SX70 HS.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 760D and SX70 HS is 66 and 63 respectively.

Sometimes, it's hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 760D and SX70 HS.

As you can see, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 760D featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 760D will give more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The older 760D is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
