Nikon D780 vs Sigma SD10

Let's take a deeper look at the Nikon D780 vs Sigma SD10, both Advanced DSLR cameras by companies Nikon and Sigma. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the D780 (25MP) and SD10 (3MP) and the D780 (Full frame) and SD10 (APS-C) have different sensor sizes.

The D780 was introduced 16 years after the SD10 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go into a full comparison, here is a brief view of how the D780 matches up versus the SD10 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon D780 and Sigma SD10. The whole galleries are available at Nikon D780 Gallery and Sigma SD10 Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to carry around your camera, you're going to have to factor its weight and dimensions.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are employing during that time. Following is a front view proportions comparison of the D780 compared to the SD10.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the D780 and SD10 is 57 and 54 respectively.

Quite often, it's tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes merely by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the D780 and SD10.

Clearly, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The D780 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon D780 will provide more detail using its extra 22MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more modern D780 provides an advantage in sensor technology.
