Canon SX170 IS vs Fujifilm F800EXR Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX170 IS and Fujifilm F800EXR.
Clearly, the two cameras offer the same exact MP but not the same sensor sizing. The SX170 IS has the smaller sensor which will make obtaining shallow depth of field trickier. The fresher SX170 IS will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
