Canon SX530 HS vs Fujifilm IS Pro Sensor Comparison

Typically, it's hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizing simply by researching a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX530 HS and Fujifilm IS Pro.

Clearly, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SX530 HS using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Canon SX530 HS will provide you with more detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more modern SX530 HS will have a benefit in sensor technology.
