Canon SX700 HS has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Digic 6 processor. On the other hand, FujiFilm Z70 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the SX700 HS and Z70 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon SX700 HS and FujiFilm Z70 Cameras
Canon SX700 HS and FujiFilm Z70 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 Z70 has 32% larger pixel area (2.34µm 2 vs 1.76µm 2 ) compared to Canon SX700 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 SX700 HS
or the
FujiFilm Z70 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
