Canon A2500 vs Canon S110 Sensor Comparison

Often, its difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A2500 and S110.

Clearly, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A2500 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon A2500 will result in extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively.
