Canon SX240 HS vs Fujifilm HS35EXR Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizes merely by looking through technical specs. The picture underneath will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SX240 HS and Fujifilm HS35EXR.

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX240 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will result in more detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged SX240 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
