Canon 750D vs Pentax K-x

In this article, we are evaluating the Canon 750D and Pentax K-x, both Entry-Level DSLR cameras by companies Canon and Pentax. There is a sizeable difference among the sensor resolutions of the 750D (24MP) and K-x (12MP) but they possess the same exact sensor measurements (APS-C).

The 750D was manufactured 5 years after the K-x which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before we go through a in-depth comparison, below is a quick view of how the 750D grades vs the K-x in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

For anybody who is aiming to travel with your camera often, you are going to need to factor in its weight and measurements. The Canon 750D has got external measurements of 132mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.2" x 4.0" x 3.1") along with a weight of 555 grams (1.22 lbs) and the Pentax K-x has proportions of 123mm x 92mm x 68mm (4.8" x 3.6" x 2.7") along with a weight of 580 grams (1.28 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are using at that time. Below is the front view dimensions comparison of the 750D and the K-x.

Using size and weight, the portability rating of the 750D and K-x is 66 and 69 respectively.

Generally, it is difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 750D and K-x.

Clearly, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon 750D to show extra detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern 750D will have an advantage in sensor technology.
