Canon 6D vs Sigma SD10

Its time to take a deeper look at the Canon 6D and Sigma SD10, both Advanced DSLR cameras by companies Canon and Sigma. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the 6D (20MP) and SD10 (3MP) and the 6D (Full frame) and SD10 (APS-C) come with different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The 6D was introduced 9 years after the SD10 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving through a complete comparison, below is a brief summation of how the 6D matches up versus the SD10 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 6D and Sigma SD10. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 6D Gallery and Sigma SD10 Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to carry around your camera frequently, you will want to factor its weight and dimensions. The Canon 6D features outer dimensions of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") and a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) whilst the Sigma SD10 has dimensions of 152mm x 120mm x 79mm (6.0" x 4.7" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 950 grams (2.09 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are employing at that moment. Here is the front view proportions comparison of the 6D and the SD10.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 6D and SD10 is 59 and 54 respectively.

Sometimes, it is difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizes purely by going through a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 6D and SD10.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 6D having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 6D will produce extra detail using its extra 17 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer 6D provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
