Below, we will be analyzing the Canon D10 and Canon G16, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras and both of them are offered by Canon. The sensor resolution of the D10 (12MP) and the G16 (12MP) is relatively similar but the D10 (1/2.3") and G16 (1/1.7") use totally different sensor measurements.

The D10 was launched 5 years before the G16 which is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the D10 matches up against the G16 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot D10 & Canon PowerShot G16. The complete galleries are available at Canon D10 Gallery & Canon G16 Gallery.

In case you're planning to travel with your camera often, you are going to need to factor its weight and dimensions. The Canon D10 has got outside measurements of 104mm x 67mm x 49mm (4.1" x 2.6" x 1.9") and a weight of 190 grams (0.42 lbs) and the Canon G16 has dimensions of 109mm x 76mm x 40mm (4.3" x 3.0" x 1.6") with a weight of 356 grams (0.78 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are using at that moment. The following is the front view proportions comparison of the D10 compared to the G16.

Considering size and weight, the portability score of the D10 and G16 is 89 and 85 respectively.

Generally, it's tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions only by going over specs. The image below will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the D10 and G16.

All in all, both of the cameras have got the exact same MP albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The D10 includes the tinier sensor which is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging. The more aged D10 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
