Canon SD4500 IS vs Canon SX200 IS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements simply by checking specs. The graphic here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SD4500 IS and SX200 IS.
All in all, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can expect to see the Canon SX200 IS to give more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively. The newer SD4500 IS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
