Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. Underneath is a front view proportions comparison of the SX730 HS versus the GR Digital IV.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX730 HS and GR Digital IV is 88 and 92 respectively.

Typically, it can be tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SX730 HS and GR Digital IV.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SX730 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Canon SX730 HS will provide more detail because of its extra 10.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher SX730 HS provides an edge in sensor innovation.
