Canon N vs Sony ZV-E10

Lets look a little more in depth at the Canon N vs Sony ZV-E10, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Sony. There is a crucial difference among the sensor resolutions of the N (12MP) and ZV-E10 (24MP) and the N (1/2.3") and ZV-E10 (APS-C) offer different sensor dimensions.

The N was unveiled 9 years prior to the ZV-E10 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon N being a Compact camera and the Sony ZV-E10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving into a thorough comparison, here is a quick summation of how the N grades versus the ZV-E10 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot N and Sony ZV-E10. The full galleries are provided at Canon N Gallery and Sony ZV-E10 Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera regularly, you need to factor its weight and size.

Often, its hard to picture the gap in sensor dimensions only by researching a spec sheet. The image below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the N and ZV-E10.

As you can see, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The N having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Sony ZV-E10 will provide you with greater detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged N will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
