Canon A2200 vs Canon SX270 HS Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Sometimes, its hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizes only by reviewing specs. The image below will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the A2200 and SX270 HS.
All in all, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Canon A2200 to offer extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged A2200 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
