Canon S200 vs Canon SD1300 IS Sensor Comparison

Often, it is hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading specs. The photograph below will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S200 and SD1300 IS.

All in all, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S200 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon SD1300 IS will deliver extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The newer S200 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
