Canon 60D vs Panasonic L1

On this page, we are contrasting the Canon 60D versus Panasonic L1, both Advanced DSLR cameras by competitors Canon and Panasonic. There exists a sizeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the 60D (18MP) and L1 (7MP) and the 60D (APS-C) and L1 (Four Thirds) provide totally different sensor size.

The 60D was introduced 3 years later than the L1 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go into a in depth comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the 60D grades vs the L1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 60D and Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 60D Gallery and Panasonic L1 Gallery.

When you are going to lug around your camera frequently, you will want to take into account its weight and size. The Canon 60D provides exterior dimensions of 145mm x 106mm x 79mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.1") along with a weight of 755 grams (1.66 lbs) and the Panasonic L1 has specifications of 146mm x 87mm x 77mm (5.7" x 3.4" x 3.0") and a weight of 606 grams (1.34 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you select at that time. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the 60D against the L1.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 60D and L1 is 59 and 65 respectively.

Quite often, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The visual here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 60D and L1.

To sum up, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 60D with its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Canon 60D will provide greater detail using its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The more recent 60D will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
