Canon SX420 IS vs FujiFilm F80EXR

Lets take a closer look at the Canon SX420 IS vs FujiFilm F80EXR, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by rivals Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a crucial gap among the sensor resolutions of the SX420 IS (20MP) and F80EXR (12MP) and the SX420 IS (1/2.3") and F80EXR (1/2") feature totally different sensor dimensions.

Normally, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX420 IS and F80EXR.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX420 IS having a smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon SX420 IS will produce greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The fresher SX420 IS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
