The 1000D was announced 5 years before the M which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 1000D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon M being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a concise overview of how the 1000D matches up vs the M in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 1000D and Canon EOS M. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 1000D Gallery and Canon M Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry around your camera often, you will need to think about its weight and proportions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising at that time. Here is the front view size comparison of the 1000D compared to the M.

Looking at size and weight, the portability score of the 1000D and M is 70 and 89 respectively.

Generally, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes purely by researching specifications. The image here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 1000D and M.

To sum up, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Canon M to result in extra detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged 1000D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
