Canon A2200 vs Canon S100 Sensor Comparison

Usually, its difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing simply by looking through specifications. The visual below may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the A2200 and S100.

To sum up, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A2200 using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon A2200 will render greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The older A2200 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
