Canon S200 vs Sigma SD15 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be tough to envision the difference in sensor measurements merely by checking out specifications. The photograph underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the S200 and SD15.

Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S200 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Canon S200 will produce greater detail having its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images far more aggressively. The newer S200 will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
