Canon SX710 HS vs Sony WX80 Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Canon SX710 HS to resolve extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The newer SX710 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
