Canon SX270 HS vs Fujifilm S1 Pro Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
In many cases, it is difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes just by seeing a spec sheet. The pic underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX270 HS and Fujifilm S1 Pro.
Clearly, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX270 HS featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon SX270 HS will show extra detail due to its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern SX270 HS will have an edge in sensor technology.
