Canon SX150 IS vs Canon SX620 HS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor measurements merely by going over technical specs. The photograph below should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX150 IS and SX620 HS.
As you have seen, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon SX620 HS to deliver more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older SX150 IS is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
