Canon SX740 HS vs Canon SX220 HS

Lets take a more detailed look at the Canon SX740 HS and Canon SX220 HS, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras and they are both created by Canon. There exists a sizeable gap between the resolutions of the SX740 HS (21MP) and SX220 HS (12MP) but both cameras provide the same sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The SX740 HS was unveiled 7 years later than the SX220 HS and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before going right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick summation of how the SX740 HS matches up versus the SX220 HS when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX740 HS and Canon SX220 HS. The full galleries are viewable at Canon SX740 HS Gallery and Canon SX220 HS Gallery.

If you're planning to carry your camera, you will need to think about its weight and proportions.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you use at that moment. Here is a front view sizing comparison of the SX740 HS compared to the SX220 HS.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX740 HS and SX220 HS is 88 and 96 respectively.

More often than not, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing just by reviewing specifications. The visual underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX740 HS and SX220 HS.

Plainly, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Canon SX740 HS to offer more detail having an extra 9MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos more aggressively. The more modern SX740 HS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
