Canon A2200 vs Canon SX730 HS Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's hard to envision the difference between sensor sizing only by looking at technical specs. The photograph here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the A2200 and SX730 HS.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Canon SX730 HS to give you more detail because of its extra 6.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older A2200 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
