Canon SX10 IS vs Samsung ST65 Sensor Comparison

Generally, its difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading through a spec sheet. The image here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX10 IS and ST65.

Clearly, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Samsung ST65 to give more detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged SX10 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
