Canon S200 vs Canon SX220 HS

Let's look closer at the Canon S200 versus Canon SX220 HS, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both manufactured by Canon. The resolution of the S200 (10MP) and the SX220 HS (12MP) is relatively comparable but the S200 (1/1.7") and SX220 HS (1/2.3") feature different sensor dimensions.

The S200 was released 3 years later than the SX220 HS and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting straight into a thorough comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the S200 scores versus the SX220 HS in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot S200 and Canon SX220 HS. The complete galleries are available at Canon S200 Gallery and Canon SX220 HS Gallery.

When you are going to carry your camera often, you have to factor in its weight and proportions.

Looking at size and weight, the portability rating of the S200 and SX220 HS is 93 and 96 respectively.

In many cases, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing purely by going through specifications. The photograph below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the S200 and SX220 HS.

To sum up, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S200 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Canon SX220 HS will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The fresher S200 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
