Canon SX410 IS vs Fujifilm HS35EXR

Its time to take a deeper look at the Canon SX410 IS and Fujifilm HS35EXR, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the SX410 IS (20MP) and Fujifilm HS35EXR (16MP) and the SX410 IS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm HS35EXR (1/2") offer totally different sensor sizing.

Normally, it is hard to see the difference between sensor dimensions merely by going over specifications. The image below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the SX410 IS and Fujifilm HS35EXR.

To sum up, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX410 IS using its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Canon SX410 IS will offer you greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics more aggressively. The younger SX410 IS will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
