Canon SX610 HS vs Canon SX730 HS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes only by checking out specifications. The pic underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX610 HS and SX730 HS.
Plainly, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Canon SX730 HS to show greater detail as a result of its extra 0.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged SX610 HS will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
