Canon SX60 HS vs Sony A7S III

In this article, we are evaluating the Canon SX60 HS vs Sony A7S III, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Sony. There exists a sizable gap among the resolutions of the SX60 HS (16MP) and A7S III (12MP) and the SX60 HS (1/2.3") and A7S III (Full frame) use different sensor measurements.

The SX60 HS was released 6 years prior to the A7S III which is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Canon SX60 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony A7S III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving in to a in depth comparison, below is a quick overview of how the SX60 HS grades versus the A7S III in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you choose at that time. Underneath is the front view overall size comparison of the SX60 HS vs the A7S III.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX60 HS and A7S III is 61 and 61 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizes purely by checking out technical specs. The image below might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX60 HS and A7S III.

As you can tell, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX60 HS featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Canon SX60 HS will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged SX60 HS will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
