Canon SX530 HS vs FujiFilm S200EXR

The following is a in depth analysis of the Canon SX530 HS versus FujiFilm S200EXR, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the SX530 HS (16MP) and S200EXR (12MP) and the SX530 HS (1/2.3") and S200EXR (1/1.6") posses totally different sensor sizing.

The SX530 HS was introduced 5 years after the S200EXR which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before going straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the SX530 HS grades versus the S200EXR with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot SX530 HS and FujiFilm FinePix S200EXR. The whole galleries are provided at Canon SX530 HS Gallery and FujiFilm S200EXR Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera, you'll have to factor its weight and size.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have chosen during that time. Following is a front view over all size comparison of the SX530 HS and the S200EXR.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX530 HS and S200EXR is 69 and 54 respectively.

Quite often, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The pic below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX530 HS and S200EXR.

Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX530 HS with its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh trickier and the Canon SX530 HS will provide greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more modern SX530 HS will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
