Canon SX240 HS vs Canon SX410 IS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, its difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizes only by looking through specs. The pic below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX240 HS and SX410 IS.
All in all, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should anticipate the Canon SX410 IS to render more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged SX240 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
