Canon SX740 HS vs Panasonic FH25

Let's look a little more in depth at the Canon SX740 HS and Panasonic FH25, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by companies Canon and Panasonic. There exists a big gap among the sensor resolutions of the SX740 HS (21MP) and FH25 (16MP) but they come with the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The SX740 HS was revealed 7 years later than the FH25 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the SX740 HS matches up versus the FH25 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX740 HS and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25. The full galleries are viewable at Canon SX740 HS Gallery and Panasonic FH25 Gallery.

If you are looking to carry your camera, you'll have to think about its weight and proportions.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you have during that time. Here is the front view dimension comparison of the SX740 HS versus the FH25.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX740 HS and FH25 is 88 and 94 respectively.

More often than not, it can be tough to see the gap in sensor sizing just by viewing specifications. The photograph here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the SX740 HS and FH25.

Plainly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon SX740 HS to provide you with more detail because of its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer SX740 HS will have an edge in sensor innovation.
