Canon 350D vs Canon SD960 IS

Its time to look more closely at the Canon 350D vs Canon SD960 IS, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact and both are created by Canon. There exists a crucial gap between the image resolutions of the 350D (8MP) and SD960 IS (12MP) and the 350D (APS-C) and SD960 IS (1/2.3") provide different sensor measurements.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 350D and SD960 IS is 70 and 95 respectively.

Typically, its difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 350D and SD960 IS.

As you can see, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 350D featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon SD960 IS will deliver more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older 350D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
