Canon SX210 IS vs Fujifilm S8500 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Typically, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizing just by looking through specifications. The visual here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX210 IS and Fujifilm S8500.
Plainly, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Fujifilm S8500 to provide you with greater detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older SX210 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
