Canon SD4500 IS vs Canon SX510 HS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes merely by reading through technical specs. The image below may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SD4500 IS and SX510 HS.
As you have seen, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Canon SX510 HS to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged SD4500 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
