Canon 5D vs Sigma SD10

Here is a extended comparison of the Canon 5D and Sigma SD10, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by brands Canon and Sigma. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the 5D (13MP) and SD10 (3MP) and the 5D (Full frame) and SD10 (APS-C) posses totally different sensor dimensions.

The 5D was manufactured 21 months later than the SD10 which makes them a generation apart from one another. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving into a in depth comparison, here is a short summation of how the 5D scores against the SD10 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 5D and Sigma SD10. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon 5D Gallery and Sigma SD10 Gallery.

If you are looking to carry your camera often, you will want to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Canon 5D provides external dimensions of 152mm x 113mm x 75mm (6.0" x 4.4" x 3.0") with a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs) whilst the Sigma SD10 has dimensions of 152mm x 120mm x 79mm (6.0" x 4.7" x 3.1") along with a weight of 950 grams (2.09 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you have at that moment. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the 5D vs the SD10.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 5D and SD10 is 55 and 54 respectively.

Typically, it is very tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing purely by going over specifications. The photograph below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 5D and SD10.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 5D due to its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Canon 5D will offer you more detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent 5D will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
