Canon SX620 HS vs Nikon P330

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Canon SX620 HS versus Nikon P330, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by manufacturers Canon and Nikon. There is a sizeable difference among the image resolutions of the SX620 HS (20MP) and P330 (12MP) and the SX620 HS (1/2.3") and P330 (1/1.7") enjoy different sensor size.

The SX620 HS was introduced 3 years later than the P330 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving in to a thorough comparison, below is a short overview of how the SX620 HS scores against the P330 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you select at the time. Following is the front view overall size comparison of the SX620 HS and the P330.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the SX620 HS and P330 is 93 and 92 respectively.

Usually, it's difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements only by going through specifications. The visual here will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX620 HS and P330.

To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX620 HS using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Canon SX620 HS will show more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The younger SX620 HS should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
