Canon M3 vs Canon SX620 HS

Following is a in depth assessment of the Canon M3 and Canon SX620 HS, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both are designed by Canon. The sensor resolution of the M3 (24MP) and the SX620 HS (20MP) is pretty comparable but the M3 (APS-C) and SX620 HS (1/2.3") use totally different sensor sizing.

The M3 was introduced 15 months before the SX620 HS which makes the cameras a generation away from one another. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Canon M3 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Canon SX620 HS being a Compact camera.

Before we go in to a in depth comparison, below is a quick overview of how the M3 matches up vs the SX620 HS when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M3 and Canon PowerShot SX620 HS. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon M3 Gallery and Canon SX620 HS Gallery.

In case you're going to carry around your camera, you need to factor its weight and dimensions. The Canon M3 comes with physical measurements of 111mm x 68mm x 44mm (4.4" x 2.7" x 1.7") accompanied by a weight of 366 grams (0.81 lbs) while the Canon SX620 HS has dimensions of 97mm x 57mm x 28mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 1.1") along with a weight of 182 grams (0.40 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have at that moment. Following is the front view over all size comparison of the M3 compared to the SX620 HS.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M3 and SX620 HS is 85 and 93 respectively.

Typically, it is tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes just by seeing technical specs. The pic here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M3 and SX620 HS.

As you have seen, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The M3 with its bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M3 will show greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged M3 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
