The SX700 HS was launched 12 months before the P900 which means that they are of a similar generation. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX700 HS being a Compact camera and the Nikon P900 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go into a in-depth comparison, here is a concise view of how the SX700 HS matches up vs the P900 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX700 HS and Nikon Coolpix P900. The complete galleries are available at Canon SX700 HS Gallery and Nikon P900 Gallery.

Quite often, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions just by seeing a spec sheet. The image here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the SX700 HS and P900.

As you can see, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size and the identical MP therefore you should expect comparable quality of photographs though you need to consider the production date of the cameras into account. The more aged SX700 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
