The 1000D was revealed 5 years prior to the 650D which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before going in to a detailed comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the 1000D scores versus the 650D with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 1000D and Canon EOS 650D. The full galleries are available at Canon 1000D Gallery and Canon 650D Gallery.

For those who are going to travel with your camera, you will want to consider its weight and dimensions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you have attached at that moment. Below is the front view dimension comparison of the 1000D versus the 650D.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 1000D and 650D is 70 and 65 respectively.

Quite often, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by seeing technical specs. The image underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 1000D and 650D.

As you can tell, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the Canon 650D to show more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 1000D will be behind in sensor technology.
