Canon 1000D vs Nikon D4s

Let's look closer at the Canon 1000D vs Nikon D4s, one is a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Pro DSLR by companies Canon and Nikon. There exists a crucial gap between the image resolutions of the 1000D (10MP) and D4s (16MP) and the 1000D (APS-C) and D4s (Full frame) feature different sensor sizing.

The 1000D was introduced 6 years before the D4s which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Canon 1000D being a Compact SLR camera and the Nikon D4s being a Large SLR camera.

Before delving in to a complete comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the 1000D grades versus the D4s in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 1000D and Nikon D4s. The whole galleries are available at Canon 1000D Gallery and Nikon D4s Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to carry around your camera frequently, you will have to factor in its weight and measurements. The Canon 1000D features outer measurements of 126mm x 98mm x 65mm (5.0" x 3.9" x 2.6") having a weight of 502 grams (1.11 lbs) whilst the Nikon D4s has proportions of 160mm x 157mm x 91mm (6.3" x 6.2" x 3.6") with a weight of 1350 grams (2.98 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are employing at that time. The following is the front view over all size comparison of the 1000D vs the D4s.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 1000D and D4s is 70 and 50 respectively.

More often than not, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes just by reading through technical specs. The image here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 1000D and D4s.

As you have seen, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 1000D having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Nikon D4s will give greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged 1000D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
