Canon SX40 HS vs Fujifilm HS35EXR

Here, we will be looking at the Canon SX40 HS versus Fujifilm HS35EXR, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by rivals Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a large gap among the sensor resolutions of the SX40 HS (12MP) and Fujifilm HS35EXR (16MP) and the SX40 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm HS35EXR (1/2") offer totally different sensor measurements.

The SX40 HS was released 16 months prior to the Fujifilm HS35EXR which makes them a generation away from one another. Both cameras feature the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before going straight to a detailed comparison, here is a short summation of how the SX40 HS scores versus the Fujifilm HS35EXR in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX40 HS & Fujifilm FinePix HS35EXR. The complete galleries are provided at Canon SX40 HS Gallery & Fujifilm HS35EXR Gallery.

In case you're intending to travel with your camera often, you will have to think about its weight and proportions. The Canon SX40 HS comes with exterior dimensions of 123mm x 92mm x 108mm (4.8" x 3.6" x 4.3") accompanied by a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs) and the Fujifilm HS35EXR has measurements of 131mm x 97mm x 126mm (5.2" x 3.8" x 5.0") along with a weight of 687 grams (1.51 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you have chosen at that time. Underneath is a front view dimension comparison of the SX40 HS against the Fujifilm HS35EXR.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SX40 HS and Fujifilm HS35EXR is 64 and 59 respectively.

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.
