Electronic Viewfinder on Canon PowerShot SX60 HS

Canon PowerShot SX60 HS has a built-in Electronic viewfinder with 922k dot resolution. It has a 100% coverage. There is no built-in or optional viewfinder available on Casio Exilim EX-FS10.

Canon PowerShot SX60 HS features a 16.1 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 28.1 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 6,400. Casio Exilim EX-FS10 features a 9.10 megapixel 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 1,600.

Canon PowerShot SX60 HS 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 SX60 HS is equipped with DIGIC 6 processor and can take pictures up to 4608 x 3072 resolution.
