On this page, we will be looking at the Canon D10 vs Nikon S33, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by companies Canon and Nikon. The image resolution of the D10 (12MP) and the S33 (13MP) is pretty well matched but the D10 (1/2.3") and S33 (1/3.1") boast totally different sensor sizes.

The D10 was announced 6 years earlier than the S33 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the D10 scores vs the S33 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot D10 and Nikon Coolpix S33. The whole galleries are provided at Canon D10 Gallery and Nikon S33 Gallery.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you use at that moment. Following is a front view measurement comparison of the D10 and the S33.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes only by checking specs. The picture here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the D10 and S33.

All in all, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The D10 having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon S33 will resolve more detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged D10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
