Canon SX600 HS vs Fujifilm S5 Pro

Let's look a little more closely at the Canon SX600 HS and Fujifilm S5 Pro, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Pro DSLR by companies Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the SX600 HS (16MP) and Fujifilm S5 Pro (6MP) and the SX600 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm S5 Pro (APS-C) enjoy different sensor size.

The SX600 HS was announced 6 years after the Fujifilm S5 Pro which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX600 HS being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm S5 Pro being a Large SLR camera.

Before we go straight into a full comparison, below is a quick view of how the SX600 HS grades versus the Fujifilm S5 Pro in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX600 HS and Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro. The whole galleries are provided at Canon SX600 HS Gallery and Fujifilm S5 Pro Gallery.

If you're aiming to travel with your camera, you should factor in its weight and dimensions. The Canon SX600 HS has outside dimensions of 104mm x 61mm x 26mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.0") having a weight of 188 grams (0.41 lbs) whilst the Fujifilm S5 Pro has dimensions of 147mm x 113mm x 74mm (5.8" x 4.4" x 2.9") with a weight of 920 grams (2.03 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you use during that time. Here is the front view size comparison of the SX600 HS compared to the Fujifilm S5 Pro.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SX600 HS and Fujifilm S5 Pro is 93 and 55 respectively.

More often than not, its tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The picture below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX600 HS and Fujifilm S5 Pro.

Plainly, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX600 HS having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Canon SX600 HS will give you extra detail with its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer SX600 HS should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
