Canon SX620 HS vs Fujifilm X10

Let's look a little more in depth at the Canon SX620 HS and Fujifilm X10, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Small Sensor Compact by companies Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a sizable gap among the resolutions of the SX620 HS (20MP) and Fujifilm X10 (12MP) and the SX620 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm X10 (2/3") have totally different sensor size.

Typically, it can be difficult to see the difference in sensor measurements merely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX620 HS and Fujifilm X10.

As you can see, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX620 HS with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX620 HS will render more detail having an extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern SX620 HS is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
