The SX600 HS was announced 3 years after the FH27 which is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief summary of how the SX600 HS grades versus the FH27 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot SX600 HS & Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH27. The whole galleries are available at Canon SX600 HS Gallery & Panasonic FH27 Gallery.

For those who are going to travel with your camera often, you should factor its weight and proportions.

Quite often, it is very difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing technical specs. The picture underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX600 HS and FH27.

As you can tell, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements and the same MP therefore you can expect similar quality of images but you should factor the launch date of the products into consideration. The younger SX600 HS will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
