Canon SX240 HS vs Fujifilm S1 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Quite often, it is hard to see the gap in sensor sizes simply by going through technical specs. The picture underneath may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX240 HS and Fujifilm S1.
As you have seen, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Fujifilm S1 to show more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged SX240 HS will be behind in sensor innovation.
