Canon 1000D vs Panasonic GH5S

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon 1000D versus Panasonic GH5S, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by companies Canon and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the 1000D (10MP) and the GH5S (10MP) is pretty comparable but the 1000D (APS-C) and GH5S (Four Thirds) provide different sensor measurements.

The 1000D was manufactured 10 years earlier than the GH5S and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Canon 1000D being a Compact SLR camera and the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a full comparison, here is a short overview of how the 1000D scores versus the GH5S with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 1000D and Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S. The entire galleries are available at Canon 1000D Gallery and Panasonic GH5S Gallery.

For anyone who is going to lug around your camera often, you will want to factor its weight and size.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising at the time. The following is a front view physical size comparison of the 1000D and the GH5S.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the 1000D and GH5S is 70 and 62 respectively.

Usually, it is very hard to visualize the difference in sensor measurements just by seeing specs. The graphic underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1000D and GH5S.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras provide the same MP albeit different sensor measurements. The 1000D provides the bigger sensor which is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult. The older 1000D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
