Canon 60Da vs Canon D10

Let's look closer at the Canon 60Da versus Canon D10, former being a Advanced DSLR while the other is a Small Sensor Compact and both of them are created by Canon. There is a noticeable difference among the sensor resolutions of the 60Da (18MP) and D10 (12MP) and the 60Da (APS-C) and D10 (1/2.3") boast totally different sensor sizes.

The 60Da was introduced 2 years later than the D10 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon 60Da being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon D10 being a Compact camera.

Before delving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple summation of how the 60Da grades vs the D10 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 60Da & Canon PowerShot D10. The whole galleries are available at Canon 60Da Gallery & Canon D10 Gallery.

In case you're looking to lug around your camera frequently, you will need to factor its weight and measurements.

Generally, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements simply by looking through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 60Da and D10.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 60Da having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Canon 60Da will render greater detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more modern 60Da is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
