Buy Nikon P500 from Amazon
Sensor and image processor:
Fujifilm claims that HS30 uses new sensor, by redesigning the shape of the photo diodes used in the EXR-CMOS sensor, the images display 30% less digital noise at higher ISO settings (compared to HS20 @ ISO 3200), which results in smoother tones and better low light images.
Canon SX 40 HS uses newly developed BSI CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 image processor, the Digic 5 image processor creates 75% less noise and 6X faster compared to Digic 4 image processor, Due to new sensor and image processor you get more details and less noise in high ISO settings.
Multi-area White Balance in SX 40 HS: The Canon SX40 HS features advanced Multi-area White Balance optimizing color tones of both subject and background under multiple light sources.
Nikon P500 comes with a BSI CMOS sensor but uses old expeed 2 image processor.
Image Processor: Image processor of both Canon and Fuji are very fast, both can capture approx 10.3 / 11 shot/sec in high speed shooting mode, Nikon P500 is limited to 8 shot/sec only.
RAW: Fuji is a clear winner on RAW mode, Only Fujifilm HS30 features RAW format capture.
