Canon SX10 IS vs Fujifilm S4500 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements merely by going over a spec sheet. The visual underneath might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX10 IS and Fujifilm S4500.

As you can see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Fujifilm S4500 to deliver more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The older SX10 IS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
