Canon A2200 vs Canon G12 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing simply by viewing specs. The photograph below will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the A2200 and G12.
All in all, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A2200 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Canon A2200 will render greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics far more aggressively.
