Canon SX1 IS vs Fujifilm S4500

Lets look a little more in depth at the Canon SX1 IS versus Fujifilm S4500, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by rivals Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a sizeable gap among the image resolutions of the SX1 IS (10MP) and Fujifilm S4500 (14MP) but they come with the same exact sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The SX1 IS was introduced 3 years earlier than the Fujifilm S4500 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting through a more detailed comparison, below is a short summation of how the SX1 IS matches up against the Fujifilm S4500 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you are going to lug around your camera regularly, you should take into account its weight and size. The Canon SX1 IS has got physical dimensions of 128mm x 88mm x 88mm (5.0" x 3.5" x 3.5") having a weight of 615 grams (1.36 lbs) and the Fujifilm S4500 has specifications of 118mm x 81mm x 100mm (4.6" x 3.2" x 3.9") with a weight of 543 grams (1.20 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you select at the time. Here is the front view measurement comparison of the SX1 IS compared to the Fujifilm S4500.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX1 IS and Fujifilm S4500 is 64 and 67 respectively.

Typically, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor measurements purely by checking out a spec sheet. The visual below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SX1 IS and Fujifilm S4500.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Fujifilm S4500 to provide more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older SX1 IS will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
