Before we go through a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the 10D grades against the WB700 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 10D & Samsung WB700. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon 10D Gallery & Samsung WB700 Gallery.

Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by looking at technical specs. The picture here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 10D and WB700.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 10D because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung WB700 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged 10D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
