Canon SX50 HS vs Casio EX-Z29

Below, we are matching up the Canon SX50 HS and Casio EX-Z29, 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-Z29 (10MP) is very well matched but the SX50 HS (1/2.3") and EX-Z29 (1/2.5") possess totally different sensor size.

The SX50 HS was unveiled 3 years after the EX-Z29 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX50 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Casio EX-Z29 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before going through a step-by-step comparison, below is a short overview of how the SX50 HS matches up vs the EX-Z29 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX50 HS and EX-Z29 is 65 and 95 respectively.

Quite often, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions merely by looking at specifications. The pic here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX50 HS and EX-Z29.

To sum up, both of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX50 HS having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon SX50 HS will resolve more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The fresher SX50 HS is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
