Canon A2200 vs Canon G16 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing just by viewing technical specs. The visual here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the A2200 and G16.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A2200 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon A2200 will render more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older A2200 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
