The D10 was released 11 months before the ZS5 which means that they are of a similar generation. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a full comparison, below is a simple overview of how the D10 scores vs the ZS5 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot D10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon D10 Gallery and Panasonic ZS5 Gallery.

When you are going to travel with your camera, you will need to think about its weight and dimensions.

In many cases, it is very hard to see the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading technical specs. The image underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the D10 and ZS5.

As you can tell, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements and the exact same MP therefore you should expect similar quality of photographs though you should really take the production date of the products into consideration. The more aged D10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
