The SX730 HS was introduced 4 years after the S9300 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a quick summation of how the SX730 HS scores against the S9300 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot SX730 HS and Nikon Coolpix S9300. The whole galleries are provided at Canon SX730 HS Gallery and Nikon S9300 Gallery.

Typically, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by going over technical specs. The image here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SX730 HS and S9300.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon SX730 HS to offer you extra detail using its extra 4.3MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent SX730 HS will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
