Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon S3000 and Canon SX210 IS Cameras
Nikon S3000 and Canon SX210 IS 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
Nikon S3000
or the
Canon SX210 IS ,
including hyperfocal distance.
