The 10D was released 11 years prior to the Df which is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go into a in depth comparison, here is a short highlight of how the 10D grades versus the Df in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Canon 10D vs Nikon Df Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be tough to see the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by checking out technical specs. The pic below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 10D and Df.

As you have seen, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 10D due to its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Nikon Df will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 10D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
