Canon 7D vs Canon S110

On this page, we will be looking at the Canon 7D versus Canon S110, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact and they are both offered by Canon. There is a significant difference among the image resolutions of the 7D (18MP) and S110 (12MP) and the 7D (APS-C) and S110 (1/1.7") have different sensor size.

The 7D was revealed 3 years prior to the S110 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Canon 7D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon S110 being a Compact camera.

Before delving into a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick overview of how the 7D grades versus the S110 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 7D and Canon PowerShot S110. The full galleries are viewable at Canon 7D Gallery and Canon S110 Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and proportions. The Canon 7D features outer measurements of 148mm x 111mm x 74mm (5.8" x 4.4" x 2.9") along with a weight of 860 grams (1.90 lbs) whilst the Canon S110 has measurements of 99mm x 59mm x 27mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.1") and a weight of 198 grams (0.44 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising at that moment. The following is a front view dimensions comparison of the 7D against the S110.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability rating of the 7D and S110 is 56 and 93 respectively.

Oftentimes, it's difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing technical specs. The visual below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 7D and S110.

As you can tell, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 7D having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 7D will result in extra detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The older 7D will be behind in sensor technology.
