Canon SX410 IS vs Olympus SP-820UZ Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Sometimes, it is very tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes simply by looking through a spec sheet. The image here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX410 IS and SP-820UZ.
As you can see, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Canon SX410 IS to provide you with greater detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The fresher SX410 IS will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
