Canon SX40 HS vs Fujifilm HS35EXR Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions just by viewing specifications. The image below may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX40 HS and Fujifilm HS35EXR.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX40 HS because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will result in more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX40 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
