Canon SX620 HS vs Samsung GX-10 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX620 HS and GX-10.

Clearly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX620 HS due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Canon SX620 HS will offer you extra detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The newer SX620 HS should have a benefit in sensor tech.
