Canon 1000D vs Canon XC10

The following is a in depth overview of the Canon 1000D versus Canon XC10, one is a Entry-Level DSLR and the other is a Large Sensor Compact and both of them are sold by Canon. The image resolution of the 1000D (10MP) and the XC10 (12MP) is very well matched but the 1000D (APS-C) and XC10 (1") boast totally different sensor size.

The 1000D was introduced 7 years prior to the XC10 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the Canon 1000D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon XC10 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go straight to a thorough comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the 1000D scores versus the XC10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 1000D and Canon XC10. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 1000D Gallery and Canon XC10 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to travel with your camera regularly, you will need to think about its weight and proportions.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have during that time. Here is a front view measurements comparison of the 1000D against the XC10.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 1000D and XC10 is 70 and 54 respectively.

More often than not, it is hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The picture below will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 1000D and XC10.

To sum up, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 1000D using its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon XC10 will resolve greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The more aged 1000D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
