Canon SX600 HS vs Sigma Quattro H

Let's look more closely at the Canon SX600 HS versus Sigma Quattro H, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Canon and Sigma. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the SX600 HS (16MP) and Quattro H (45MP) and the SX600 HS (1/2.3") and Quattro H (APS-H) provide totally different sensor sizing.

The SX600 HS was brought out 3 years earlier than the Quattro H which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Canon SX600 HS being a Compact camera and the Sigma Quattro H being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going right into a complete comparison, here is a quick summary of how the SX600 HS scores vs the Quattro H when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX600 HS and Sigma sd Quattro H. The entire galleries are provided at Canon SX600 HS Gallery and Sigma Quattro H Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to carry around your camera frequently, you have to think about its weight and proportions.

Oftentimes, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The image below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX600 HS and Quattro H.

As you can see, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX600 HS featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Sigma Quattro H will resolve more detail having its extra 29 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The more aged SX600 HS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
