Canon SX530 HS vs FujiFilm S2950

Lets examine more closely at the Canon SX530 HS vs FujiFilm S2950, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by rivals Canon and FujiFilm. The image resolution of the SX530 HS (16MP) and the S2950 (14MP) is pretty well matched and they feature the same exact sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The SX530 HS was introduced 4 years later than the S2950 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting straight into a in depth comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the SX530 HS matches up against the S2950 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX530 HS and FujiFilm FinePix S2950. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon SX530 HS Gallery and FujiFilm S2950 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to lug around your camera often, you will have to think about its weight and measurements.

Sometimes, it can be hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading through specifications. The graphic here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX530 HS and S2950.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You should expect the Canon SX530 HS to give extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more modern SX530 HS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
