Canon A1300 vs Canon SX410 IS Sensor Comparison

As you can tell, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Canon SX410 IS to deliver more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older A1300 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
