Canon 1D X vs Sony G3

Let's look more closely at the Canon 1D X versus Sony G3, one being a Pro DSLR and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by manufacturers Canon and Sony. There exists a crucial gap between the image resolutions of the 1D X (18MP) and G3 (10MP) and the 1D X (Full frame) and G3 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor sizes.

The 1D X was revealed 2 years later than the G3 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Canon 1D X being a Large SLR camera and the Sony G3 being a Compact camera.

Before diving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the 1D X scores vs the G3 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS-1D X and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3. The full galleries are provided at Canon 1D X Gallery and Sony G3 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to carry your camera, you have to consider its weight and volume. The Canon 1D X enjoys external dimensions of 158mm x 164mm x 83mm (6.2" x 6.5" x 3.3") along with a weight of 1340 grams (2.95 lbs) and the Sony G3 has sizing of 97mm x 59mm x 22mm (3.8" x 2.3" x 0.9") having a weight of 185 grams (0.41 lbs).

Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading through specs. The photograph here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 1D X and G3.

All in all, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 1D X with its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 1D X will resolve extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics more aggressively. The more modern 1D X is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
