Canon D10 vs Canon S100 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements merely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the D10 and S100.

As you can see, both of these cameras provide the same megapixels but different sensor measurements. The D10 has got the smaller sensor which is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier. The older D10 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
