Canon SD4500 IS vs Fujifilm X20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it's difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing just by looking at technical specs. The visual underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SD4500 IS and Fujifilm X20.
As you have seen, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The SD4500 IS because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm X20 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images far more aggressively. The older SD4500 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
