Canon Elph 115 IS vs Canon A3000 IS Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Oftentimes, it is very tough to envision the difference in sensor sizes just by looking through technical specs. The picture here may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Elph 115 IS and A3000 IS.
As you have seen, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon Elph 115 IS to result in extra detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The newer Elph 115 IS is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
