Canon 400D vs Pentax WG-2

On this page, we will be reviewing the Canon 400D versus Pentax WG-2, former is a Entry-Level DSLR while the latter is a Waterproof by companies Canon and Pentax. There exists a large gap between the sensor resolutions of the 400D (10MP) and WG-2 (16MP) and the 400D (APS-C) and WG-2 (1/2.3") have totally different sensor size.

The 400D was announced 6 years earlier than the WG-2 which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Canon 400D being a Compact SLR camera and the Pentax WG-2 being a Compact camera.

Before diving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the 400D scores versus the WG-2 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 400D & Pentax Optio WG-2. The whole galleries are available at Canon 400D Gallery & Pentax WG-2 Gallery.

When you are intending to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to think about its weight and volume. The Canon 400D provides external dimensions of 127mm x 94mm x 65mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 2.6") along with a weight of 556 grams (1.23 lbs) while the Pentax WG-2 has sizing of 122mm x 61mm x 30mm (4.8" x 2.4" x 1.2") with a weight of 192 grams (0.42 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you have at that moment. Here is a front view overall size comparison of the 400D against the WG-2.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 400D and WG-2 is 69 and 91 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 400D and WG-2.

As you can see, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 400D using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Pentax WG-2 will offer you greater detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged 400D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
