Canon SX40 HS vs FujiFilm S3200 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by viewing specifications. The image underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX40 HS and S3200.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the FujiFilm S3200 to provide you with greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The fresher SX40 HS is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
