Canon SX530 HS vs Fujifilm F750EXR

The following is a in depth assessment of the Canon SX530 HS and Fujifilm F750EXR, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by rivals Canon and FujiFilm. The resolution of the SX530 HS (16MP) and the Fujifilm F750EXR (16MP) is relatively similar but the SX530 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm F750EXR (1/2") enjoy totally different sensor dimensions.

In many cases, it is tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions only by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX530 HS and Fujifilm F750EXR.

Clearly, the two cameras offer the same exact MP albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The SX530 HS contains the tinier sensor which is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging. The more modern SX530 HS will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
