Canon D10 vs Canon SX240 HS Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Often, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes merely by checking specs. The image below may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the D10 and SX240 HS.
All in all, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the exact same MP therefore you should expect similar quality of pictures though you will want to factor the production date  of the products into consideration. The more aged D10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
