Canon SX510 HS vs FujiFilm T300

Let's examine more closely at the Canon SX510 HS and FujiFilm T300, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. The image resolution of the SX510 HS (12MP) and the T300 (14MP) is fairly similar and they possess the exact same sensor sizing (1/2.3").

Photography Glossary

The SX510 HS was brought out 2 years later than the T300 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting through a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the SX510 HS grades against the T300 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX510 HS and FujiFilm FinePix T300. The entire galleries are provided at Canon SX510 HS Gallery and FujiFilm T300 Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry your camera, you'll need to factor its weight and measurements. The Canon SX510 HS has outside measurements of 104mm x 70mm x 80mm (4.1" x 2.8" x 3.1") and a weight of 349 grams (0.77 lbs) while the FujiFilm T300 has proportions of 97mm x 57mm x 28mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 1.1") with a weight of 151 grams (0.33 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you select at that moment. The following is the front view dimension comparison of the SX510 HS against the T300.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX510 HS and T300 is 80 and 94 respectively.

Typically, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing just by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX510 HS and T300.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the FujiFilm T300 to offer greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent SX510 HS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
