Canon SX240 HS vs Panasonic FH25

Below is a complete assessment of the Canon SX240 HS versus Panasonic FH25, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by companies Canon and Panasonic. There exists a significant gap between the resolutions of the SX240 HS (12MP) and FH25 (16MP) but both cameras offer the same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

Meta to Introduce 'AI-Generated' Labels for Media starting next month

The SX240 HS was introduced 14 months later than the FH25 which makes them a generation apart from one another. Both cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a full comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the SX240 HS grades against the FH25 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX240 HS and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25. The whole galleries are provided at Canon SX240 HS Gallery and Panasonic FH25 Gallery.

When you are looking to lug around your camera regularly, you need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are working with at the time. Underneath is a front view measurement comparison of the SX240 HS compared to the FH25.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SX240 HS and FH25 is 91 and 94 respectively.

Normally, it is hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading through technical specs. The visual below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX240 HS and FH25.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You should expect the Panasonic FH25 to give you extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger SX240 HS should have an edge in sensor innovation.
