Canon SX730 HS vs Fujifilm F900EXR Sensor Comparison

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.
