Canon SX510 HS has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 4 processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm S2000HD has a
10.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the SX510 HS and S2000HD sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon SX510 HS and Fujifilm S2000HD Cameras
Canon SX510 HS and Fujifilm S2000HD 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. On the other hand, since Fujifilm S2000HD has 59% larger pixel area (2.81µm 2 vs 1.76µm 2 ) compared to Canon SX510 HS, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
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 SX510 HS
or the
Fujifilm S2000HD ,
including hyperfocal distance.
