Canon SX200 IS vs Fujifilm S1 Pro Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading through technical specs. The visual here may provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX200 IS and Fujifilm S1 Pro.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SX200 IS using its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF harder and the Canon SX200 IS will resolve extra detail having an extra 9MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer SX200 IS is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
