Canon SX400 IS vs Fujifilm X10 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes just by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX400 IS and Fujifilm X10.
As you can see, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX400 IS because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Canon SX400 IS will give you greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The younger SX400 IS should have an edge in sensor technology.
