Canon 10D vs Canon 7D

Here is a detailed comparison of the Canon 10D and Canon 7D, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras and both of them are sold by Canon. There exists a sizeable gap between the sensor resolutions of the 10D (6MP) and 7D (18MP) but they possess the exact same sensor size (APS-C).

Photography Glossary

The 10D was released 7 years prior to the 7D and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go in to a full comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the 10D scores versus the 7D in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 10D and Canon EOS 7D. The complete galleries are available at Canon 10D Gallery and Canon 7D Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to carry your camera, you'll need to factor in its weight and measurements. The Canon 10D comes with outer measurements of 150mm x 107mm x 75mm (5.9" x 4.2" x 3.0") having a weight of 875 grams (1.93 lbs) while the Canon 7D has proportions of 148mm x 111mm x 74mm (5.8" x 4.4" x 2.9") having a weight of 860 grams (1.90 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you have attached during that time. Following is the front view size comparison of the 10D and the 7D.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 10D and 7D is 56 and 56 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here might offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 10D and 7D.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Canon 7D to deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older 10D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
