Canon SX210 IS vs Fujifilm HS50 EXR

Let's take a closer look at the Canon SX210 IS and Fujifilm HS50 EXR, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. The sensor resolution of the SX210 IS (14MP) and the Fujifilm HS50 EXR (16MP) is pretty comparable but the SX210 IS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm HS50 EXR (1/2") boast totally different sensor measurements.

The SX210 IS was introduced 3 years before the Fujifilm HS50 EXR and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Canon SX210 IS being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm HS50 EXR being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go into a in depth comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the SX210 IS matches up vs the Fujifilm HS50 EXR with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you have attached at that time. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the SX210 IS against the Fujifilm HS50 EXR.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the SX210 IS and Fujifilm HS50 EXR is 90 and 54 respectively.

Generally, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing only by checking out technical specs. The photograph here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SX210 IS and Fujifilm HS50 EXR.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SX210 IS with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm HS50 EXR will provide greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older SX210 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
