Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon A3200 IS and Canon SX260 HS Cameras
Canon A3200 IS and Canon SX260 HS have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon A3200 IS
or the
Canon SX260 HS ,
including hyperfocal distance.
