Canon SX30 IS vs Fujifilm HS35EXR Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its hard to see the gap between sensor sizes purely by going over specifications. The pic below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX30 IS and Fujifilm HS35EXR.
To sum up, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX30 IS because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will deliver greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged SX30 IS is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
