Canon SX410 IS vs Sigma SD1

Let's look a little more in depth at the Canon SX410 IS versus Sigma SD1, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Advanced DSLR by rivals Canon and Sigma. There exists a significant gap among the image resolutions of the SX410 IS (20MP) and SD1 (15MP) and the SX410 IS (1/2.3") and SD1 (APS-C) have different sensor measurements.

The SX410 IS was manufactured 4 years later than the SD1 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX410 IS being a Compact camera and the Sigma SD1 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before we go right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick view of how the SX410 IS grades against the SD1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX410 IS and Sigma SD1. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon SX410 IS Gallery and Sigma SD1 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to lug around your camera, you have to factor its weight and proportions.

Sometimes, its difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The photograph underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX410 IS and SD1.

To sum up, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX410 IS because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Canon SX410 IS will provide extra detail due to its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern SX410 IS provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
