Canon SD4500 IS vs Fujifilm X30 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizing merely by viewing specifications. The photograph here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SD4500 IS and Fujifilm X30.

Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SD4500 IS due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Fujifilm X30 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The older SD4500 IS will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
