Canon R100 vs Canon SX540 HS

Here, we are reviewing the Canon R100 versus Canon SX540 HS, former is a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are designed by Canon. The resolution of the R100 (24MP) and the SX540 HS (20MP) is fairly well matched but the R100 (APS-C) and SX540 HS (1/2.3") offer totally different sensor measurements.

The R100 was announced 7 years after the SX540 HS which is quite a sizable difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon R100 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Canon SX540 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go straight to a in depth comparison, here is a concise summary of how the R100 matches up vs the SX540 HS in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS R100 & Canon PowerShot SX540 HS. The whole galleries are available at Canon R100 Gallery & Canon SX540 HS Gallery.

If you're looking to carry around your camera frequently, you're going to have to think about its weight and proportions. The Canon R100 has got outer measurements of 116mm x 86mm x 69mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.7") along with a weight of 356 grams (0.78 lbs) and the Canon SX540 HS has measurements of 120mm x 82mm x 92mm (4.7" x 3.2" x 3.6") accompanied by a weight of 442 grams (0.97 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you have attached during that time. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the R100 against the SX540 HS.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the R100 and SX540 HS is 76 and 69 respectively.

In many cases, it's difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizes just by looking at a spec sheet. The picture here will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the R100 and SX540 HS.

As you can see, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R100 with its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Canon R100 will give extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent R100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
