Canon S95 vs Canon SX600 HS

Here, we are reviewing the Canon S95 and Canon SX600 HS, former being a Small Sensor Compact while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are built by Canon. There exists a large gap among the sensor resolutions of the S95 (10MP) and SX600 HS (16MP) and the S95 (1/1.7") and SX600 HS (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor size.

The S95 was released 4 years prior to the SX600 HS and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short highlight of how the S95 scores versus the SX600 HS with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot S95 & Canon PowerShot SX600 HS. The complete galleries are available at Canon S95 Gallery & Canon SX600 HS Gallery.

If you are looking to lug around your camera often, you need to factor its weight and measurements. The Canon S95 comes with outer measurements of 100mm x 58mm x 30mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.2") along with a weight of 195 grams (0.43 lbs) and the Canon SX600 HS has proportions of 104mm x 61mm x 26mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.0") with a weight of 188 grams (0.41 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are utilizing at that moment. Following is a front view measurements comparison of the S95 vs the SX600 HS.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S95 and SX600 HS is 93 and 93 respectively.

More often than not, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through specs. The photograph underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the S95 and SX600 HS.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S95 due to its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon SX600 HS will show more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The older S95 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
