Canon 10D vs Fujifilm X30 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The pic underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 10D and Fujifilm X30.

Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 10D with its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X30 will provide extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged 10D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
