Canon SX540 HS vs FujiFilm F70EXR Sensor Comparison

Typically, its difficult to see the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading through specifications. The graphic underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX540 HS and F70EXR.

Plainly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SX540 HS due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Canon SX540 HS will resolve extra detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The younger SX540 HS is going to have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
