The 10D was announced 6 years prior to the 50D which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving into a in-depth comparison, here is a short overview of how the 10D matches up against the 50D for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 10D and Canon EOS 50D. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 10D Gallery and Canon 50D Gallery.

Oftentimes, its tough to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions only by going over a spec sheet. The pic here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 10D and 50D.

As you can see, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon 50D to offer more detail with its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged 10D is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
