Canon SX60 HS vs Canon SX710 HS

Below, we are looking at the Canon SX60 HS vs Canon SX710 HS, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras and both are produced by Canon. The sensor resolution of the SX60 HS (16MP) and the SX710 HS (20MP) is very well matched and they possess the exact same sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

Sometimes, it is hard to envision the difference between sensor sizes only by reading through a spec sheet. The pic below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX60 HS and SX710 HS.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon SX710 HS to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively.
