Canon SX200 IS vs Fujifilm F600 EXR

Lets look more closely at the Canon SX200 IS and Fujifilm F600 EXR, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by brands Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the SX200 IS (12MP) and Fujifilm F600 EXR (16MP) and the SX200 IS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm F600 EXR (1/2") provide different sensor dimensions.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SX200 IS and Fujifilm F600 EXR is 90 and 91 respectively.

Sometimes, it's tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements simply by going over specs. The graphic here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the SX200 IS and Fujifilm F600 EXR.

All in all, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX200 IS using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm F600 EXR will offer greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older SX200 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
