Canon 50D vs Sony W810

Lets look more closely at the Canon 50D versus Sony W810, one being a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Ultracompact by competitors Canon and Sony. There is a huge difference between the resolutions of the 50D (15MP) and W810 (20MP) and the 50D (APS-C) and W810 (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor sizing.

The 50D was manufactured 6 years before the W810 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Canon 50D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sony W810 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before delving right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a short summation of how the 50D grades against the W810 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 50D and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W810. The entire galleries are available at Canon 50D Gallery and Sony W810 Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry your camera frequently, you are going to need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Looking at size and weight, the portability grade of the 50D and W810 is 57 and 96 respectively.

Oftentimes, its hard to envision the difference between sensor sizing simply by going over technical specs. The visual underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 50D and W810.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 50D due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Sony W810 will deliver more detail due to its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older 50D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
