Its time to take a more detailed look at the Canon D10 versus Canon S90, both Small Sensor Compact cameras and both of them are created by Canon. The image resolution of the D10 (12MP) and the S90 (10MP) is relatively close but the D10 (1/2.3") and S90 (1/1.7") offer different sensor dimensions.

The D10 was released 9 months earlier than the S90 so they are of a similar generation. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before getting right into a full comparison, here is a brief view of how the D10 scores against the S90 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot D10 and Canon PowerShot S90. The complete galleries are available at Canon D10 Gallery and Canon S90 Gallery.

In case you're looking to carry around your camera regularly, you'll have to consider its weight and proportions. The Canon D10 has got outside dimensions of 104mm x 67mm x 49mm (4.1" x 2.6" x 1.9") having a weight of 190 grams (0.42 lbs) and the Canon S90 has measurements of 100mm x 58mm x 31mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.2") having a weight of 195 grams (0.43 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you use at the time. Below is a front view proportions comparison of the D10 and the S90.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the D10 and S90 is 89 and 92 respectively.

In many cases, it can be difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes simply by looking through specifications. The image underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the D10 and S90.

To sum up, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The D10 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Canon D10 will result in more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged D10 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
