Canon SX60 HS vs Sigma DP1s

Let's take a closer look at the Canon SX60 HS vs Sigma DP1s, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by brands Canon and Sigma. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the SX60 HS (16MP) and DP1s (5MP) and the SX60 HS (1/2.3") and DP1s (APS-C) enjoy different sensor sizes.

The SX60 HS was announced 5 years after the DP1s which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Canon SX60 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma DP1s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go in to a full comparison, below is a short introduction of how the SX60 HS matches up versus the DP1s when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX60 HS & Sigma DP1s. The whole galleries are available at Canon SX60 HS Gallery & Sigma DP1s Gallery.

When you are looking to carry around your camera frequently, you need to take into account its weight and size.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you choose at that moment. Following is the front view dimensions comparison of the SX60 HS versus the DP1s.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SX60 HS and DP1s is 61 and 90 respectively.

Sometimes, its hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes merely by going over specifications. The image here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SX60 HS and DP1s.

To sum up, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX60 HS with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Canon SX60 HS will offer greater detail with its extra 11MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The fresher SX60 HS provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
