Screen

Canon PowerShot SX410 IS has a 3.0" screen with 230k dot resolution and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 has a 3.50" screen with 921k dot resolution. Both have Fixed screens. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 also features touchscreen which has advantages such as easy menu navigation, intuitive controls, quick setting adjustment and most importantly a Touch-to-Focus functionality (available only on Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7) allowing users to select a specific point on the screen where they want the camera to focus. This feature can be helpful for achieving precise focus in both photo and video recording.

Canon PowerShot SX410 IS features a 20 megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 28.1 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 1,600. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 features a 10.2 megapixel 1/2.4-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.104 x 4.578 mm and a total area of 21 mm². Its native ISO range is 125 - 3,200.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Canon PowerShot SX410 IS is equipped with DIGIC 4+ processor and can take pictures up to 5152 x 3864 resolution.
