Canon A495 vs Canon S110

Lets look more closely at the Canon A495 versus Canon S110, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras and both are designed by Canon. The image resolution of the A495 (10MP) and the S110 (12MP) is relatively well matched but the A495 (1/2.3") and S110 (1/1.7") feature different sensor measurements.

The A495 was announced 3 years earlier than the S110 and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the A495 grades vs the S110 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For anyone who is intending to lug around your camera regularly, you're going to have to think about its weight and volume. The Canon A495 enjoys external dimensions of 94mm x 62mm x 31mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 1.2") having a weight of 175 grams (0.39 lbs) and the Canon S110 has sizing of 99mm x 59mm x 27mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.1") along with a weight of 198 grams (0.44 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you have attached at that time. Following is the front view measurement comparison of the A495 and the S110.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the A495 and S110 is 93 and 93 respectively.

Typically, it can be tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements simply by checking specifications. The photograph underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the A495 and S110.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A495 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon S110 will resolve greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older A495 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
