Canon RP vs Sigma DP1s

On this page, we are evaluating the Canon RP vs Sigma DP1s, former is a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Large Sensor Compact by competitors Canon and Sigma. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the RP (26MP) and DP1s (5MP) and the RP (Full frame) and DP1s (APS-C) offer different sensor measurements.

The RP was announced 9 years after the DP1s which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Canon RP being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sigma DP1s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the RP matches up versus the DP1s in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS RP & Sigma DP1s. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon RP Gallery & Sigma DP1s Gallery.

When you are intending to carry around your camera often, you should think about its weight and dimensions. The Canon RP has got physical dimensions of 133mm x 85mm x 70mm (5.2" x 3.3" x 2.8") with a weight of 485 grams (1.07 lbs) and the Sigma DP1s has dimensions of 109mm x 60mm x 31mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.2") and a weight of 270 grams (0.60 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you have attached at the time. Underneath is a front view physical size comparison of the RP and the DP1s.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the RP and DP1s is 70 and 90 respectively.

Sometimes, its hard to picture the difference between sensor sizes simply by reviewing technical specs. The pic underneath will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the RP and DP1s.

As you can tell, each of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The RP having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Canon RP will offer you more detail with its extra 21 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The fresher RP should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
