Canon S95 vs Canon SD4500 IS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes just by checking out a spec sheet. The pic below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the S95 and SD4500 IS.
As you can see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same MP but not the same sensor sizes. The S95 provides the larger sensor which should make achieving shallow depth of field simpler. The more aged S95 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
