Canon 100D vs Pentax KF

Lets look more in depth at the Canon 100D versus Pentax KF, both Entry-Level DSLR cameras by companies Canon and Pentax. There is a big difference among the sensor resolutions of the 100D (18MP) and KF (24MP) but both cameras provide the identical sensor sizes (APS-C).

The 100D was manufactured 10 years earlier than the KF and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before we go into a complete comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the 100D matches up against the KF in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 100D and Pentax KF. The entire galleries are available at Canon 100D Gallery and Pentax KF Gallery.

For those who are planning to lug around your camera frequently, you are going to need to take into account its weight and size. The Canon 100D has outside measurements of 117mm x 91mm x 69mm (4.6" x 3.6" x 2.7") and a weight of 407 grams (0.90 lbs) and the Pentax KF has specifications of 126mm x 93mm x 74mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 2.9") having a weight of 684 grams (1.51 lbs).

Usually, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements merely by seeing technical specs. The visual underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 100D and KF.

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Pentax KF to show greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older 100D will be behind in sensor technology.
