Canon SX70 HS vs Fujifilm HS35EXR

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon SX70 HS versus Fujifilm HS35EXR, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by companies Canon and FujiFilm. There is a crucial difference between the sensor resolutions of the SX70 HS (20MP) and Fujifilm HS35EXR (16MP) and the SX70 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm HS35EXR (1/2") come with totally different sensor size.

The SX70 HS was launched 5 years after the Fujifilm HS35EXR which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a short overview of how the SX70 HS grades against the Fujifilm HS35EXR when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX70 HS and Fujifilm FinePix HS35EXR. The complete galleries are available at Canon SX70 HS Gallery and Fujifilm HS35EXR Gallery.

If you are planning to travel with your camera often, you are going to need to think about its weight and proportions. The Canon SX70 HS enjoys exterior measurements of 127mm x 91mm x 117mm (5.0" x 3.6" x 4.6") accompanied by a weight of 608 grams (1.34 lbs) whilst the Fujifilm HS35EXR has measurements of 131mm x 97mm x 126mm (5.2" x 3.8" x 5.0") with a weight of 687 grams (1.51 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. Underneath is the front view dimensions comparison of the SX70 HS versus the Fujifilm HS35EXR.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability score of the SX70 HS and Fujifilm HS35EXR is 63 and 59 respectively.

Usually, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking specs. The image here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the SX70 HS and Fujifilm HS35EXR.

All in all, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX70 HS due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon SX70 HS will give extra detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The fresher SX70 HS will have an edge in sensor tech.
