Canon SX10 IS vs Sigma DP2x

Following is a complete analysis of the Canon SX10 IS versus Sigma DP2x, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers Canon and Sigma. There exists a large gap between the resolutions of the SX10 IS (10MP) and DP2x (5MP) and the SX10 IS (1/2.3") and DP2x (APS-C) use different sensor measurements.

The SX10 IS was introduced 3 years prior to the DP2x which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX10 IS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma DP2x being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the SX10 IS grades versus the DP2x in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you are employing at that time. Here is the front view scale comparison of the SX10 IS compared to the DP2x.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX10 IS and DP2x is 65 and 86 respectively.

Typically, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor sizes purely by looking at specifications. The pic here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX10 IS and DP2x.

Plainly, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX10 IS using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX10 IS will resolve more detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SX10 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
