Canon SD1200 IS vs FujiFilm XP10 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to envision the contrast in sensor measurements just by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SD1200 IS and XP10.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the FujiFilm XP10 to show more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older SD1200 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
