The 50D was introduced 15 months prior to the DP2s making them a generation away from each other. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon 50D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sigma DP2s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before diving right into a in depth comparison, here is a short highlight of how the 50D scores vs the DP2s in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 50D & Sigma DP2s. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 50D Gallery & Sigma DP2s Gallery.

For those who are planning to carry around your camera regularly, you have to factor in its weight and size.

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizes simply by looking at technical specs. The picture here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 50D and DP2s.

As you can tell, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Canon 50D to give you greater detail using its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged 50D is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
