Canon SX210 IS vs Olympus 9000 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to see the difference between sensor sizing merely by looking at specifications. The visual here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX210 IS and 9000.

To sum up, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon SX210 IS to give you extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The newer SX210 IS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
