Let's look a little more closely at the Canon 7D MII and Sigma DP2s, former being a Advanced DSLR while the other is a Large Sensor Compact by brands Canon and Sigma. There is a substantial difference between the resolutions of the 7D MII (20MP) and DP2s (5MP) but both cameras boast the identical sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The 7D MII was announced 4 years later than the DP2s and that is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon 7D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sigma DP2s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving into a complete comparison, here is a concise view of how the 7D MII matches up vs the DP2s with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 7D Mark II & Sigma DP2s. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 7D MII Gallery & Sigma DP2s Gallery.

Usually, its hard to envision the gap between sensor sizing just by checking specs. The photograph below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 7D MII and DP2s.

All in all, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Canon 7D MII to give you greater detail with its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern 7D MII is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
