Canon SX600 HS vs Fujifilm S1 Pro

Following is a in-depth review of the Canon SX600 HS and Fujifilm S1 Pro, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Pro DSLR by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. There is a crucial difference between the sensor resolutions of the SX600 HS (16MP) and Fujifilm S1 Pro (3MP) and the SX600 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm S1 Pro (APS-C) feature totally different sensor dimensions.

The SX600 HS was unveiled 13 years after the Fujifilm S1 Pro which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX600 HS being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm S1 Pro being a Large SLR camera.

Before we go through a comprehensive comparison, below is a simple summation of how the SX600 HS matches up versus the Fujifilm S1 Pro with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Generally, it can be tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by looking at technical specs. The pic underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX600 HS and Fujifilm S1 Pro.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX600 HS using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX600 HS will resolve extra detail having an extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The younger SX600 HS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
