Canon SX40 HS vs Fujifilm S9400W

In this write-up, we will be matching up the Canon SX40 HS and Fujifilm S9400W, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a crucial gap between the resolutions of the SX40 HS (12MP) and Fujifilm S9400W (16MP) but they enjoy the same exact sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The SX40 HS was revealed 3 years prior to the Fujifilm S9400W which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the SX40 HS scores vs the Fujifilm S9400W with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX40 HS and Fujifilm FinePix S9400W. The full galleries are provided at Canon SX40 HS Gallery and Fujifilm S9400W Gallery.

When you are going to carry around your camera frequently, you'll have to think about its weight and volume. The Canon SX40 HS features outer measurements of 123mm x 92mm x 108mm (4.8" x 3.6" x 4.3") and a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs) while the Fujifilm S9400W has sizing of 123mm x 87mm x 116mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 4.6") with a weight of 670 grams (1.48 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising during that time. Following is the front view measurements comparison of the SX40 HS against the Fujifilm S9400W.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SX40 HS and Fujifilm S9400W is 64 and 61 respectively.

Typically, it's difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading through technical specs. The picture here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SX40 HS and Fujifilm S9400W.

As you can tell, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Fujifilm S9400W to give greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged SX40 HS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
