Canon SX60 HS vs Nikon P520

Below is a extended comparison of the Canon SX60 HS versus Nikon P520, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the SX60 HS (16MP) and the P520 (18MP) is very well matched and they use the exact same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The SX60 HS was announced 20 months later than the P520 making the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a brief summation of how the SX60 HS grades against the P520 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX60 HS and Nikon Coolpix P520. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon SX60 HS Gallery and Nikon P520 Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to lug around your camera, you'll need to think about its weight and measurements. The Canon SX60 HS enjoys physical dimensions of 128mm x 93mm x 114mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 4.5") and a weight of 650 grams (1.43 lbs) and the Nikon P520 has proportions of 125mm x 84mm x 102mm (4.9" x 3.3" x 4.0") along with a weight of 550 grams (1.21 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising at that time. Below is the front view measurement comparison of the SX60 HS compared to the P520.

Looking at size and weight, the portability grade of the SX60 HS and P520 is 61 and 66 respectively.

Oftentimes, it can be hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by looking at specifications. The visual here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SX60 HS and P520.

To sum up, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Nikon P520 to resolve greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The fresher SX60 HS will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
