Canon SX720 HS vs Fujifilm SL240

The following is a in depth overview of the Canon SX720 HS vs Fujifilm SL240, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a huge gap among the resolutions of the SX720 HS (20.3MP) and Fujifilm SL240 (14MP) but they feature the same exact sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The SX720 HS was introduced 4 years after the Fujifilm SL240 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Canon SX720 HS being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm SL240 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go through a in-depth comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the SX720 HS matches up versus the Fujifilm SL240 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX720 HS and Fujifilm FinePix SL240. The whole galleries are provided at Canon SX720 HS Gallery and Fujifilm SL240 Gallery.

In case you're planning to travel with your camera often, you will need to factor in its weight and measurements.

Normally, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by checking out specifications. The pic here should give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX720 HS and Fujifilm SL240.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Canon SX720 HS to provide extra detail using its extra 6.3MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The younger SX720 HS will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
