Canon SX710 HS vs Panasonic FS25

Let's look more closely at the Canon SX710 HS versus Panasonic FS25, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Canon and Panasonic. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the SX710 HS (20MP) and FS25 (12MP) but both cameras have the identical sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The SX710 HS was brought out 6 years later than the FS25 and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving into a complete comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the SX710 HS matches up against the FS25 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking specifications. The visual here will help give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX710 HS and FS25.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon SX710 HS to give extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The newer SX710 HS is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
