Canon 1Ds vs Canon M10

Here, we are evaluating the Canon 1Ds versus Canon M10, one being a Pro DSLR and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and both of them are designed by Canon. There exists a significant gap among the image resolutions of the 1Ds (11MP) and M10 (18MP) and the 1Ds (Full frame) and M10 (APS-C) posses totally different sensor dimensions.

The 1Ds was brought out 14 years prior to the M10 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon 1Ds being a Large SLR camera and the Canon M10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a short view of how the 1Ds grades vs the M10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS-1Ds and Canon EOS M10. The entire galleries are available at Canon 1Ds Gallery and Canon M10 Gallery.

If you are intending to lug around your camera often, you have to think about its weight and measurements. The Canon 1Ds enjoys physical dimensions of 156mm x 158mm x 80mm (6.1" x 6.2" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 1585 grams (3.49 lbs) while the Canon M10 has proportions of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") with a weight of 301 grams (0.66 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you use at that time. Following is a front view size comparison of the 1Ds against the M10.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 1Ds and M10 is 50 and 88 respectively.

More often than not, it can be difficult to see the difference in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The visual below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 1Ds and M10.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1Ds featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M10 will render greater detail having its extra 7MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older 1Ds will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
