Canon SX210 IS vs Canon SX60 HS Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes purely by looking through technical specs. The picture below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX210 IS and SX60 HS.
As you can tell, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon SX60 HS to result in extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX210 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
