Canon SX730 HS vs Fujifilm S8600

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Canon SX730 HS vs Fujifilm S8600, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a significant gap among the image resolutions of the SX730 HS (20.3MP) and Fujifilm S8600 (16MP) but they possess the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The SX730 HS was introduced 3 years later than the Fujifilm S8600 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX730 HS being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm S8600 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving in to a thorough comparison, below is a short summation of how the SX730 HS grades against the Fujifilm S8600 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are employing at that moment. Below is the front view measurement comparison of the SX730 HS and the Fujifilm S8600.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX730 HS and Fujifilm S8600 is 88 and 76 respectively.

Normally, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor measurements just by checking out specifications. The graphic here will help give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX730 HS and Fujifilm S8600.

To sum up, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Canon SX730 HS to produce extra detail using its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The younger SX730 HS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
