The 10D was announced 10 years earlier than the M which is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Canon 10D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon M being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going into a complete comparison, here is a short summation of how the 10D scores vs the M when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 10D & Canon EOS M. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 10D Gallery & Canon M Gallery.

In many cases, it is very hard to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions only by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 10D and M.

As you can see, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You can count on the Canon M to offer more detail with its extra 12MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged 10D is going to be behind in sensor technology.
