Canon Elph 115 IS vs Canon SD1400 IS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Elph 115 IS and SD1400 IS.
As you can see, both cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon Elph 115 IS to result in more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The younger Elph 115 IS is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
