Canon A810 vs Canon S200 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing just by viewing technical specs. The photograph here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the A810 and S200.

As you have seen, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A810 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon A810 will provide you with extra detail utilizing its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older A810 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
