Canon 10D vs Nikon D810

Lets take a more detailed look at the Canon 10D versus Nikon D810, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and Nikon. There is a substantial difference between the sensor resolutions of the 10D (6MP) and D810 (36MP) and the 10D (APS-C) and D810 (Full frame) have totally different sensor measurements.

The 10D was brought out 12 years earlier than the D810 and that is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving into a in depth comparison, here is a concise summation of how the 10D matches up against the D810 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 10D & Nikon D810. The entire galleries are provided at Canon 10D Gallery & Nikon D810 Gallery.

If you are planning to lug around your camera often, you'll have to factor in its weight and proportions. The Canon 10D provides outside measurements of 150mm x 107mm x 75mm (5.9" x 4.2" x 3.0") along with a weight of 875 grams (1.93 lbs) while the Nikon D810 has measurements of 146mm x 123mm x 82mm (5.7" x 4.8" x 3.2") accompanied by a weight of 980 grams (2.16 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you are employing during that time. Below is a front view proportions comparison of the 10D versus the D810.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the 10D and D810 is 56 and 54 respectively.

Generally, it can be tough to envision the difference between sensor measurements just by looking at technical specs. The photograph here may give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 10D and D810.

As you can tell, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 10D because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Nikon D810 will resolve greater detail having its extra 30MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older 10D is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
