Canon ELPH 530 HS vs Nikon P7000 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it can be difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizes simply by going over technical specs. The image here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the ELPH 530 HS and P7000.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras offer the same exact megapixels but different sensor sizes. The ELPH 530 HS has got the tinier sensor which will make obtaining shallower DOF more challenging. The newer ELPH 530 HS should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
