Canon 60D vs Konica Minolta 5D

Let's look a little more closely at the Canon 60D and Konica Minolta 5D, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by companies Canon and Konica. There is a huge difference between the resolutions of the 60D (18MP) and Minolta 5D (6MP) but they come with the exact same sensor measurements (APS-C).

The 60D was manufactured 5 years after the Minolta 5D which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go straight into a comprehensive comparison, below is a quick summary of how the 60D scores vs the Minolta 5D with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 60D and Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D. The entire galleries are available at Canon 60D Gallery and Konica Minolta 5D Gallery.

When you are intending to travel with your camera regularly, you need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Canon 60D comes with physical dimensions of 145mm x 106mm x 79mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.1") having a weight of 755 grams (1.66 lbs) whilst the Konica Minolta 5D has measurements of 131mm x 93mm x 67mm (5.2" x 3.7" x 2.6") along with a weight of 670 grams (1.48 lbs).

Often, it's hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions merely by going over a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 60D and Minolta 5D.

As you can see, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon 60D to deliver greater detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more recent 60D is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
