Canon SX730 HS vs FujiFilm S4000 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements just by going through a spec sheet. The photograph below might give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX730 HS and S4000.
Clearly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon SX730 HS to provide more detail as a result of its extra 6.3MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images way more aggressively. The younger SX730 HS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
