Canon SX240 HS vs FujiFilm AV200 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the FujiFilm AV200 to give extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images far more aggressively. The more modern SX240 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
