The D10 was unveiled 5 years prior to the S200 and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before getting into a more detailed comparison, here is a short introduction of how the D10 scores versus the S200 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot D10 & Canon PowerShot S200. The full galleries are available at Canon D10 Gallery & Canon S200 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to lug around your camera frequently, you should think about its weight and measurements. The Canon D10 enjoys external measurements of 104mm x 67mm x 49mm (4.1" x 2.6" x 1.9") along with a weight of 190 grams (0.42 lbs) whilst the Canon S200 has proportions of 100mm x 59mm x 26mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.0") with a weight of 181 grams (0.40 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you use at that time. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the D10 and the S200.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the D10 and S200 is 89 and 93 respectively.

In many cases, its difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The visual below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the D10 and S200.

To sum up, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The D10 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Canon D10 will give you greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older D10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
