Canon SX610 HS vs Fujifilm SL1000

Let's look a little more closely at the Canon SX610 HS versus Fujifilm SL1000, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the SX610 HS (20MP) and Fujifilm SL1000 (16MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

Typically, it can be hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SX610 HS and Fujifilm SL1000.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should anticipate the Canon SX610 HS to offer you greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger SX610 HS provides an advantage in sensor technology.
