Canon 30D vs Sigma SD1

Below, we will be reviewing the Canon 30D and Sigma SD1, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by companies Canon and Sigma. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the 30D (8MP) and SD1 (15MP) but they feature the exact same sensor sizing (APS-C).

The 30D was manufactured 5 years earlier than the SD1 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving in to a in depth comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the 30D scores vs the SD1 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 30D and Sigma SD1. The entire galleries are available at Canon 30D Gallery and Sigma SD1 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to carry around your camera regularly, you will have to factor its weight and measurements. The Canon 30D has got external dimensions of 144mm x 106mm x 74mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 2.9") along with a weight of 784 grams (1.73 lbs) whilst the Sigma SD1 has proportions of 146mm x 113mm x 80mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 3.1") along with a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you choose during that time. The following is the front view measurements comparison of the 30D compared to the SD1.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 30D and SD1 is 58 and 77 respectively.

Normally, it can be hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizes only by reading through specifications. The pic below should give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 30D and SD1.

To sum up, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Sigma SD1 to resolve extra detail due to its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged 30D is going to be behind in sensor technology.
