Canon SX60 HS vs Sony RX10 III

Its time to take a deeper look at the Canon SX60 HS and Sony RX10 III, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Large Sensor Superzoom by companies Canon and Sony. The sensor resolution of the SX60 HS (16MP) and the RX10 III (20MP) is relatively comparable but the SX60 HS (1/2.3") and RX10 III (1") posses different sensor sizing.

The SX60 HS was brought out 18 months prior to the RX10 III which makes them a generation apart from one another. Both the cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting into a in-depth comparison, here is a short view of how the SX60 HS matches up against the RX10 III in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Sometimes, it's difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing simply by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SX60 HS and RX10 III.

As you can see, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SX60 HS due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony RX10 III will show more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older SX60 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
