Canon SX610 HS vs Fujifilm X10

Below, we are looking at the Canon SX610 HS versus Fujifilm X10, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. There is a huge difference among the image resolutions of the SX610 HS (20MP) and Fujifilm X10 (12MP) and the SX610 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm X10 (2/3") feature different sensor size.

The SX610 HS was revealed 2 years later than the Fujifilm X10 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a in-depth comparison, below is a short overview of how the SX610 HS grades vs the Fujifilm X10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX610 HS and Fujifilm X10. The full galleries are available at Canon SX610 HS Gallery and Fujifilm X10 Gallery.

If you're planning to lug around your camera often, you need to think about its weight and measurements.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the SX610 HS and Fujifilm X10 is 93 and 83 respectively.

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements just by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic below will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX610 HS and Fujifilm X10.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX610 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon SX610 HS will provide greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher SX610 HS should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
