Canon G9 vs SX100
Hello,
Do the Canon G9 and SX100 have any notable technical differences in their sensors, photo contrast, optical distortion, dynamic range, etc. I wonder if their side by side photos comparing the results. I realize they are quite different models. I am just wondering if the G9's sensor is significantly different than the other's (except the resolution of course). -HS |

SX100 has smaller 1/2.5" sensor (7.2x5.8mm). In area, the sensor in G(9 is roughly 1.7 times larger than the SX100. The 1/2.5" size appears to be the general size of sensor in most compact P&S cameras. |

SX100 has smaller 1/2.5" sensor hmm .. so that would result in lower noise level in G9 I presume. Also, I wonder what does sensor size do to the contrast and dynamic range of the captured image -- or do they depend on the quality of a sensor? -HS (7.2x5.8mm).

They clarified many doubts I had earlier. regards, -HS |

Canon should be totally ashamed of this (and some others too) HP got this basic and absolutely essential thing right in their little digicam that's cheap even for a P&S, so why can't Canon?!! Yes, I know, there's more to the Canon 20D, but w | Mike Henley | Digital Photography | 58 | December 15th 04 06:21 PM |
