Its time to look a little more closely at the Canon SX620 HS versus FujiFilm S1800, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the SX620 HS (20MP) and S1800 (12MP) but they enjoy the same exact sensor measurements (1/2.3").

Typically, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading through technical specs. The photograph here may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX620 HS and S1800.

As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should expect to see the Canon SX620 HS to give greater detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The younger SX620 HS should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
