Fujifilm X-T2 vs Canon SX620 HS Comparison Overview

Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Fujifilm X-T2, which was introduced in July 2016 is a Advanced Mirrorless camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Canon SX620 HS, which was introduced in May 2016 is a Small Sensor Superzoom camera with a 20.0MP 1/2.3" sensor. There is only 2 months difference between X-T2 and SX620 HS so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.

Fujifilm X-T2 vs Canon SX620 HS: Physical Specs and Body Features Comparison

Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, we are going to illustrate the Fujifilm X-T2 and Canon SX620 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X-T2 has external dimensions of 133 x 92 x 49 mm (5.24 x 3.62 x 1.9″) and weighs 507 g (including batteries). Canon SX620 HS has external dimensions of 97 x 57 x 28 mm (3.81 x 2.24 x 1.1″) and weighs 182 g (0.40 lb / 6.42 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-T2 and the Canon SX620 HS. Canon SX620 HS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 36mm narrower, 35mm shorter and 21mm thinner than Fujifilm X-T2. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon SX620 HS has a built-in lens but Fujifilm X-T2 doesn't. Once you put a lens on X-T2, its thickness will increase significantly.

Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-T2 and Canon SX620 HS.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm X-T2 and Canon SX620 HS.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Canon SX620 HS is significantly lighter (325g ) than the Fujifilm X-T2 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on X-T2, the total kit will weigh much higher.

Weather Sealing

With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the X-T2 has a big advantage over the SX620 HS which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm X-T2's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon SX620 HS's 3" screen.

In addition to the size advantage, Fujifilm X-T2 LCD screen also has a Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon SX620 HS has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-T2.


Fujifilm X-T2 vs Canon SX620 HS: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm X-T2 has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS X-TRANS III sensor and features X-Processor Pro2 processor. On the other hand, Canon SX620 HS has a 20.0MP 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm) ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 4+ processor.

Another difference between these two cameras is that Fujifilm X-T2's sensor lacks anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.

Below you can see the X-T2 and SX620 HS sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm X-T2 and Canon SX620 HS Cameras


As seen above, Fujifilm X-T2 has a 13.1x Larger sensor area than Canon SX620 HS. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
