Canon 5D MII vs Samsung GX-10

Let's examine more closely at the Canon 5D MII vs Samsung GX-10, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by competitors Canon and Samsung. There exists a big gap between the resolutions of the 5D MII (21MP) and GX-10 (10MP) and the 5D MII (Full frame) and GX-10 (APS-C) use different sensor dimensions.

The 5D MII was revealed 2 years later than the GX-10 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving in to a thorough comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the 5D MII grades versus the GX-10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Samsung GX-10. The full galleries are available at Canon 5D MII Gallery and Samsung GX-10 Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you will have to factor its weight and measurements. The Canon 5D MII features exterior measurements of 152mm x 114mm x 75mm (6.0" x 4.5" x 3.0") along with a weight of 850 grams (1.87 lbs) whilst the Samsung GX-10 has proportions of 142mm x 101mm x 70mm (5.6" x 4.0" x 2.8") with a weight of 793 grams (1.75 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising at that time. Underneath is the front view dimension comparison of the 5D MII vs the GX-10.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 5D MII and GX-10 is 56 and 59 respectively.

Typically, it can be tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements only by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 5D MII and GX-10.

Clearly, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 5D MII with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon 5D MII will offer more detail because of its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern 5D MII provides an advantage in sensor tech.
