Canon SX10 IS vs Nikon B700 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes only by checking out specifications. The picture here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the SX10 IS and B700.

Plainly, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon B700 to produce greater detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX10 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
