Canon SX720 HS vs Fujifilm HS35EXR

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon SX720 HS and Fujifilm HS35EXR, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by brands Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a sizeable gap between the image resolutions of the SX720 HS (20.3MP) and Fujifilm HS35EXR (16MP) and the SX720 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm HS35EXR (1/2") have totally different sensor sizing.

The SX720 HS was released 3 years later than the Fujifilm HS35EXR and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Canon SX720 HS being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm HS35EXR being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going straight to a complete comparison, here is a short view of how the SX720 HS grades against the Fujifilm HS35EXR with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot SX720 HS and Fujifilm FinePix HS35EXR. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon SX720 HS Gallery and Fujifilm HS35EXR Gallery.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera often, you are going to need to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Canon SX720 HS has got exterior dimensions of 110mm x 64mm x 36mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.4") and a weight of 270 grams (0.60 lbs) while the Fujifilm HS35EXR has dimensions of 131mm x 97mm x 126mm (5.2" x 3.8" x 5.0") accompanied by a weight of 687 grams (1.51 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are working with during that time. The following is a front view over all size comparison of the SX720 HS vs the Fujifilm HS35EXR.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX720 HS and Fujifilm HS35EXR is 89 and 59 respectively.

Quite often, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX720 HS and Fujifilm HS35EXR.

Clearly, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX720 HS because of its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh trickier and the Canon SX720 HS will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 4.3MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger SX720 HS is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
