Canon SX740 HS vs Fujifilm F770EXR

On this page, we are reviewing the Canon SX740 HS versus Fujifilm F770EXR, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a huge gap between the resolutions of the SX740 HS (21MP) and Fujifilm F770EXR (16MP) and the SX740 HS (1/2.3") and Fujifilm F770EXR (1/2") have different sensor dimensions.

The SX740 HS was introduced 6 years later than the Fujifilm F770EXR and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before diving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the SX740 HS scores vs the Fujifilm F770EXR in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX740 HS and Fujifilm FinePix F770EXR. The whole galleries are provided at Canon SX740 HS Gallery and Fujifilm F770EXR Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera frequently, you will have to factor its weight and measurements. The Canon SX740 HS provides exterior measurements of 110mm x 64mm x 40mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.6") and a weight of 299 grams (0.66 lbs) whilst the Fujifilm F770EXR has proportions of 105mm x 63mm x 36mm (4.1" x 2.5" x 1.4") having a weight of 234 grams (0.52 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have chosen at that time. Underneath is a front view size comparison of the SX740 HS and the Fujifilm F770EXR.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX740 HS and Fujifilm F770EXR is 88 and 90 respectively.

Normally, it's tough to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements simply by looking at specs. The graphic below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX740 HS and Fujifilm F770EXR.

All in all, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX740 HS having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon SX740 HS will resolve greater detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos more aggressively. The younger SX740 HS provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
