Canon SX70 HS vs Fujifilm HS50 EXR Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, its tough to see the difference between sensor measurements merely by going over technical specs. The graphic here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX70 HS and Fujifilm HS50 EXR.
As you have seen, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX70 HS using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Canon SX70 HS will offer you more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more modern SX70 HS is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
