Canon A2400 IS vs Canon SX710 HS Sensor Comparison

As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Canon SX710 HS to provide extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The older A2400 IS will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
