Canon D10 vs Nikon P7700

Here is a in depth overview of the Canon D10 versus Nikon P7700, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by rivals Canon and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the D10 (12MP) and the P7700 (12MP) is fairly comparable but the D10 (1/2.3") and P7700 (1/1.7") posses totally different sensor dimensions.

The D10 was released 4 years prior to the P7700 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before going right into a detailed comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the D10 grades versus the P7700 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot D10 & Nikon Coolpix P7700. The complete galleries are provided at Canon D10 Gallery & Nikon P7700 Gallery.

If you are going to carry your camera frequently, you'll need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Canon D10 provides outside dimensions of 104mm x 67mm x 49mm (4.1" x 2.6" x 1.9") with a weight of 190 grams (0.42 lbs) while the Nikon P7700 has proportions of 119mm x 73mm x 50mm (4.7" x 2.9" x 2.0") accompanied by a weight of 392 grams (0.86 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at that time. Below is a front view dimension comparison of the D10 vs the P7700.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the D10 and P7700 is 89 and 82 respectively.

More often than not, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor sizing simply by seeing specifications. The graphic here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the D10 and P7700.

Plainly, both of those cameras have the same megapixel count but not the same sensor sizing. The D10 provides the smaller sensor which is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult. The older D10 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
