Canon SX220 HS vs Nikon P340

Here is a thorough review of the Canon SX220 HS and Nikon P340, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by rivals Canon and Nikon. The image resolution of the SX220 HS (12MP) and the P340 (12MP) is relatively well matched but the SX220 HS (1/2.3") and P340 (1/1.7") use totally different sensor dimensions.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you are working with during that time. Underneath is the front view over all size comparison of the SX220 HS vs the P340.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX220 HS and P340 is 96 and 92 respectively.

More often than not, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The photograph below might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SX220 HS and P340.

To sum up, the two cameras posses the exact same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor sizing. The SX220 HS uses the tinier sensor which will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult. The older SX220 HS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
