Canon A2200 vs Canon S200 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing simply by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2200 and S200.

As you can see, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A2200 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Canon A2200 will offer you more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older A2200 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
