The SX720 HS was revealed 2 years after the S5300 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the SX720 HS scores against the S5300 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX720 HS and Nikon Coolpix S5300. The full galleries are viewable at Canon SX720 HS Gallery and Nikon S5300 Gallery.

In case you're planning to carry around your camera, you'll need to consider its weight and size.

Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes only by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SX720 HS and S5300.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon SX720 HS to produce greater detail because of its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent SX720 HS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
