Canon ELPH 100 HS vs Sigma DP1s

Let's look a little more closely at the Canon ELPH 100 HS versus Sigma DP1s, one is a Ultracompact and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers Canon and Sigma. There exists a crucial gap between the image resolutions of the ELPH 100 HS (12MP) and DP1s (5MP) and the ELPH 100 HS (1/2.3") and DP1s (APS-C) enjoy totally different sensor sizing.

The ELPH 100 HS was introduced 17 months after the DP1s making the cameras a generation away from one another. The two cameras offer different body type with the Canon ELPH 100 HS being a Ultracompact camera and the Sigma DP1s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before diving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a brief overview of how the ELPH 100 HS matches up vs the DP1s for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are employing at the time. The following is the front view physical size comparison of the ELPH 100 HS and the DP1s.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the ELPH 100 HS and DP1s is 96 and 90 respectively.

Normally, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions purely by looking at technical specs. The pic here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 100 HS and DP1s.

As you can tell, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The ELPH 100 HS with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Canon ELPH 100 HS will give greater detail using its extra 7MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The younger ELPH 100 HS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
