Canon 90D vs Canon SX10 IS

Lets look a little more in depth at the Canon 90D vs Canon SX10 IS, one being a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both built by Canon. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the 90D (33MP) and SX10 IS (10MP) and the 90D (APS-C) and SX10 IS (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor dimensions.

The 90D was unveiled 10 years later than the SX10 IS and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon 90D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SX10 IS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going right into a thorough comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the 90D grades versus the SX10 IS in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 90D and Canon PowerShot SX10 IS. The full galleries are viewable at Canon 90D Gallery and Canon SX10 IS Gallery.

If you're going to carry your camera regularly, you will want to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Canon 90D features external dimensions of 141mm x 105mm x 77mm (5.6" x 4.1" x 3.0") with a weight of 701 grams (1.55 lbs) whilst the Canon SX10 IS has dimensions of 128mm x 88mm x 87mm (5.0" x 3.5" x 3.4") with a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are working with during that time. Following is a front view measurement comparison of the 90D compared to the SX10 IS.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 90D and SX10 IS is 60 and 65 respectively.

Quite often, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing simply by going through specs. The graphic below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 90D and SX10 IS.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 90D with its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon 90D will show more detail having an extra 23MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The more recent 90D is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
