Canon SX730 HS vs Fujifilm F900EXR

Lets look more closely at the Canon SX730 HS versus Fujifilm F900EXR, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. There is a huge difference between the resolutions of the SX730 HS (20.3MP) and Fujifilm F900EXR (16MP) and the SX730 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm F900EXR (1/2") boast different sensor sizing.

The SX730 HS was announced 4 years later than the Fujifilm F900EXR and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief view of how the SX730 HS matches up versus the Fujifilm F900EXR in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX730 HS and Fujifilm FinePix F900EXR. The whole galleries are available at Canon SX730 HS Gallery and Fujifilm F900EXR Gallery.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and measurements. The Canon SX730 HS enjoys outer dimensions of 110mm x 64mm x 40mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.6") having a weight of 300 grams (0.66 lbs) and the Fujifilm F900EXR has proportions of 105mm x 61mm x 36mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.4") along with a weight of 232 grams (0.51 lbs).

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the SX730 HS and Fujifilm F900EXR is 88 and 90 respectively.

Often, it is very difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading a spec sheet. The photograph below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX730 HS and Fujifilm F900EXR.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX730 HS having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Canon SX730 HS will deliver more detail with its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent SX730 HS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
