Canon SD4500 IS vs Canon SX700 HS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes only by going through technical specs. The picture here will help give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SD4500 IS and SX700 HS.
As you can tell, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Canon SX700 HS to produce more detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged SD4500 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
