Canon SX610 HS vs Fujifilm S5 Pro

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Canon SX610 HS and Fujifilm S5 Pro, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Pro DSLR by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. There is a big difference among the sensor resolutions of the SX610 HS (20MP) and Fujifilm S5 Pro (6MP) and the SX610 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm S5 Pro (APS-C) offer different sensor sizes.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have at that time. Following is a front view dimension comparison of the SX610 HS and the Fujifilm S5 Pro.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the SX610 HS and Fujifilm S5 Pro is 93 and 55 respectively.

Often, it can be hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out technical specs. The photograph underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the SX610 HS and Fujifilm S5 Pro.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX610 HS using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX610 HS will produce greater detail with its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern SX610 HS should have a benefit in sensor technology.
