To sum up, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Fujifilm SL240 to resolve extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The fresher SX270 HS is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
