Canon SX200 IS vs Canon SX510 HS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing only by reading specifications. The photograph below should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX200 IS and SX510 HS.
Plainly, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions and the exact same MP so you can expect similar quality of files however you really should factor the launch date  of the products into consideration. The older SX200 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
