Canon SX50 HS vs Casio EX-Z270

Its time to look a little more closely at the Canon SX50 HS versus Casio EX-Z270, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Ultracompact by rivals Canon and Casio. The sensor resolution of the SX50 HS (12MP) and the EX-Z270 (10MP) is very well matched but the SX50 HS (1/2.3") and EX-Z270 (1/2.5") posses totally different sensor measurements.

The SX50 HS was revealed 4 years after the EX-Z270 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX50 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Casio EX-Z270 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a short highlight of how the SX50 HS scores versus the EX-Z270 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX50 HS and Casio Exilim EX-Z270. The full galleries are viewable at Canon SX50 HS Gallery and Casio EX-Z270 Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to carry around your camera frequently, you will have to think about its weight and measurements.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have at that time. Following is a front view measurements comparison of the SX50 HS and the EX-Z270.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the SX50 HS and EX-Z270 is 65 and 96 respectively.

Often, its tough to see the difference between sensor sizes just by reading through specifications. The pic here should give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX50 HS and EX-Z270.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX50 HS with its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon SX50 HS will give you extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The newer SX50 HS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
