Canon SX620 HS vs Sony A350 Sensor Comparison

Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The SX620 HS having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Canon SX620 HS will offer more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs way more aggressively. The newer SX620 HS should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
