Canon SX50 HS vs Sigma SD10

Here, we will be reviewing the Canon SX50 HS versus Sigma SD10, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Advanced DSLR by rivals Canon and Sigma. There is a huge difference among the sensor resolutions of the SX50 HS (12MP) and SD10 (3MP) and the SX50 HS (1/2.3") and SD10 (APS-C) offer different sensor dimensions.

The SX50 HS was unveiled 8 years later than the SD10 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX50 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma SD10 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before diving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the SX50 HS matches up vs the SD10 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX50 HS and Sigma SD10. The full galleries are available at Canon SX50 HS Gallery and Sigma SD10 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to lug around your camera frequently, you should think about its weight and dimensions. The Canon SX50 HS features exterior dimensions of 123mm x 87mm x 106mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 4.2") and a weight of 595 grams (1.31 lbs) and the Sigma SD10 has dimensions of 152mm x 120mm x 79mm (6.0" x 4.7" x 3.1") having a weight of 950 grams (2.09 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are using at that moment. Below is a front view dimension comparison of the SX50 HS against the SD10.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability rating of the SX50 HS and SD10 is 65 and 54 respectively.

Often, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements just by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the SX50 HS and SD10.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX50 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Canon SX50 HS will produce greater detail having an extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more modern SX50 HS should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
