Canon SX700 HS vs Fujifilm S1500

Lets look more closely at the Canon SX700 HS and Fujifilm S1500, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a crucial gap between the image resolutions of the SX700 HS (16MP) and Fujifilm S1500 (10MP) but both cameras posses the same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The SX700 HS was launched 5 years later than the Fujifilm S1500 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Canon SX700 HS being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm S1500 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going into a in depth comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the SX700 HS scores vs the Fujifilm S1500 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Normally, its tough to see the contrast between sensor measurements only by going over technical specs. The visual below might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX700 HS and Fujifilm S1500.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon SX700 HS to offer more detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more recent SX700 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
