The SX50 HS was unveiled 3 years after the EX-Z33 which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the Canon SX50 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Casio EX-Z33 being a Compact camera.

Before diving straight to a detailed comparison, here is a short introduction of how the SX50 HS matches up vs the EX-Z33 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX50 HS and Casio Exilim EX-Z33. The full galleries are available at Canon SX50 HS Gallery and Casio EX-Z33 Gallery.

Generally, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX50 HS and EX-Z33.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon SX50 HS to resolve greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more recent SX50 HS will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
