Canon SX620 HS vs Samsung HZ25W Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by going over specifications. The image here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX620 HS and HZ25W.
To sum up, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Canon SX620 HS to offer greater detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger SX620 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
