Canon 5D MII vs FujiFilm HS10

Here, we are looking at the Canon 5D MII vs FujiFilm HS10, one being a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by rivals Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a big gap among the resolutions of the 5D MII (21MP) and HS10 (10MP) and the 5D MII (Full frame) and HS10 (1/2.3") posses different sensor dimensions.

Photography Glossary

The 5D MII was unveiled 16 months before the HS10 making them a generation apart from one another. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon 5D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the FujiFilm HS10 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the 5D MII matches up vs the HS10 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 5D Mark II and FujiFilm FinePix HS10. The full galleries are provided at Canon 5D MII Gallery and FujiFilm HS10 Gallery.

If you're looking to lug around your camera regularly, you will have to take into account its weight and volume.

Typically, its hard to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements just by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 5D MII and HS10.

As you can see, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 5D MII with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon 5D MII will produce greater detail having an extra 11MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older 5D MII will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
