Canon D10 vs Panasonic TS6

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon D10 versus Panasonic TS6, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Waterproof by competitors Canon and Panasonic. There exists a big gap among the sensor resolutions of the D10 (12MP) and TS6 (16MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor sizing (1/2.3").

Photography Glossary

The D10 was released 6 years prior to the TS6 which is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going in to a detailed comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the D10 matches up against the TS6 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot D10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS6. The complete galleries are available at Canon D10 Gallery and Panasonic TS6 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to carry around your camera, you'll need to think about its weight and measurements.

More often than not, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes just by looking through technical specs. The picture here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the D10 and TS6.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic TS6 to render extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged D10 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
