Canon SX400 IS vs Panasonic TS4 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
More often than not, it is difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reading through specifications. The pic below will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX400 IS and TS4.
Plainly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Canon SX400 IS to give extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern SX400 IS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
