Canon SX620 HS vs Olympus FE-45

Lets examine more closely at the Canon SX620 HS and Olympus FE-45, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by rivals Canon and Olympus. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the SX620 HS (20MP) and FE-45 (10MP) but they feature the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The SX620 HS was released 7 years later than the FE-45 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting straight into a complete comparison, below is a simple summation of how the SX620 HS matches up versus the FE-45 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX620 HS and Olympus FE-45. The complete galleries are provided at Canon SX620 HS Gallery and Olympus FE-45 Gallery.

If you are aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you'll have to factor in its weight and volume. The Canon SX620 HS has got exterior measurements of 97mm x 57mm x 28mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 1.1") along with a weight of 182 grams (0.40 lbs) while the Olympus FE-45 has sizing of 94mm x 62mm x 23mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 0.9") accompanied by a weight of 142 grams (0.31 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have attached at that moment. The following is the front view measurements comparison of the SX620 HS versus the FE-45.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX620 HS and FE-45 is 93 and 95 respectively.

Normally, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by reading technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX620 HS and FE-45.

As you can tell, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Canon SX620 HS to offer greater detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent SX620 HS will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
