Canon 1000D vs Nikon P900

Lets look much closer at the Canon 1000D vs Nikon P900, former being a Entry-Level DSLR while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Canon and Nikon. There exists a sizable gap among the image resolutions of the 1000D (10MP) and P900 (16MP) and the 1000D (APS-C) and P900 (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor measurements.

The 1000D was introduced 7 years prior to the P900 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon 1000D being a Compact SLR camera and the Nikon P900 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the 1000D grades versus the P900 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you use at the time. Here is a front view dimension comparison of the 1000D against the P900.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 1000D and P900 is 70 and 52 respectively.

Normally, its hard to see the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 1000D and P900.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1000D having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Nikon P900 will produce more detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older 1000D will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
