Canon SX240 HS vs Fujifilm S4800 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Typically, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions just by viewing specs. The image below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX240 HS and Fujifilm S4800.
All in all, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Fujifilm S4800 to provide you with greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SX240 HS will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
