Canon SX220 HS vs Fujifilm Z1000EXR Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, its tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specs. The picture here might give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX220 HS and Fujifilm Z1000EXR.
All in all, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX220 HS featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Fujifilm Z1000EXR will show greater detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged SX220 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
