Canon SX730 HS vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it's hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements only by reading a spec sheet. The visual here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX730 HS and WX350.
Clearly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should expect the Canon SX730 HS to offer you more detail with its extra 2.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The younger SX730 HS provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
