Canon S200 vs Nikon L26

Its time to look a little more closely at the Canon S200 versus Nikon L26, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and Nikon. There exists a significant gap between the image resolutions of the S200 (10MP) and L26 (16MP) and the S200 (1/1.7") and L26 (1/2.3") offer different sensor measurements.

The S200 was brought out 2 years later than the L26 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before delving right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the S200 matches up versus the L26 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot S200 and Nikon Coolpix L26. The entire galleries are available at Canon S200 Gallery and Nikon L26 Gallery.

If you're planning to lug around your camera regularly, you have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Canon S200 features physical dimensions of 100mm x 59mm x 26mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.0") and a weight of 181 grams (0.40 lbs) whilst the Nikon L26 has dimensions of 96mm x 60mm x 29mm (3.8" x 2.4" x 1.1") with a weight of 164 grams (0.36 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are using at that time. The following is a front view dimension comparison of the S200 and the L26.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the S200 and L26 is 93 and 93 respectively.

More often than not, it is very tough to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading specifications. The graphic here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S200 and L26.

To sum up, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S200 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon L26 will offer greater detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The younger S200 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
