Canon SX600 HS vs Sigma DP2s

Here, we are comparing the Canon SX600 HS vs Sigma DP2s, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Canon and Sigma. There exists a huge gap between the resolutions of the SX600 HS (16MP) and DP2s (5MP) and the SX600 HS (1/2.3") and DP2s (APS-C) provide different sensor sizes.

The SX600 HS was revealed 3 years later than the DP2s and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX600 HS being a Compact camera and the Sigma DP2s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before diving straight to a full comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the SX600 HS matches up against the DP2s with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX600 HS and Sigma DP2s. The full galleries are viewable at Canon SX600 HS Gallery and Sigma DP2s Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to carry your camera often, you'll need to think about its weight and proportions. The Canon SX600 HS has outside dimensions of 104mm x 61mm x 26mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.0") having a weight of 188 grams (0.41 lbs) while the Sigma DP2s has measurements of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") along with a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you have at the time. The following is a front view sizing comparison of the SX600 HS versus the DP2s.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX600 HS and DP2s is 93 and 86 respectively.

Quite often, its hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizing just by reading through specifications. The graphic underneath might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX600 HS and DP2s.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SX600 HS using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Canon SX600 HS will resolve greater detail because of its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more modern SX600 HS should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
