Canon 80D vs Sigma SD9

In this article, we are looking at the Canon 80D vs Sigma SD9, both Advanced DSLR cameras by rivals Canon and Sigma. There exists a crucial gap among the resolutions of the 80D (24MP) and SD9 (3MP) but they use the same exact sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The 80D was revealed 13 years after the SD9 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a concise summation of how the 80D matches up against the SD9 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 80D and Sigma SD9. The full galleries are viewable at Canon 80D Gallery and Sigma SD9 Gallery.

If you're looking to travel with your camera, you should think about its weight and dimensions. The Canon 80D has got outside measurements of 139mm x 105mm x 79mm (5.5" x 4.1" x 3.1") having a weight of 730 grams (1.61 lbs) and the Sigma SD9 has dimensions of 152mm x 120mm x 79mm (6.0" x 4.7" x 3.1") having a weight of 950 grams (2.09 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you have attached at the time. The following is the front view over all size comparison of the 80D against the SD9.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 80D and SD9 is 59 and 54 respectively.

Normally, its hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 80D and SD9.

As you can see, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon 80D to produce greater detail because of its extra 21MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The younger 80D will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
