In many cases, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes only by checking out a spec sheet. The image here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX510 HS and Fujifilm SL300.
Clearly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Fujifilm SL300 to show more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more recent SX510 HS provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
