Canon SX50 HS vs Sony HX10V

Lets look more in depth at the Canon SX50 HS and Sony HX10V, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by competitors Canon and Sony. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the SX50 HS (12MP) and HX10V (18MP) but both cameras boast the identical sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The SX50 HS was revealed 11 months after the HX10V and they are of a similar generation. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX50 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony HX10V being a Compact camera.

Before delving into a full comparison, here is a short summation of how the SX50 HS matches up vs the HX10V with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot SX50 HS and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX10V. The full galleries are available at Canon SX50 HS Gallery and Sony HX10V Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to travel with your camera often, you'll need to think about its weight and proportions. The Canon SX50 HS has outside measurements of 123mm x 87mm x 106mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 4.2") along with a weight of 595 grams (1.31 lbs) whilst the Sony HX10V has measurements of 105mm x 60mm x 34mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.3") along with a weight of 234 grams (0.52 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you have attached at that time. Underneath is a front view proportions comparison of the SX50 HS compared to the HX10V.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX50 HS and HX10V is 65 and 91 respectively.

Typically, it's difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions just by going through specs. The pic here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX50 HS and HX10V.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony HX10V to produce extra detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The newer SX50 HS is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
