Canon SX1 IS vs Nikon B700 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes just by looking through specifications. The image below should give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX1 IS and B700.
To sum up, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Nikon B700 to result in extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SX1 IS will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
