Casio EX-10 vs Sigma DP1x

Lets look a little more in depth at the Casio EX-10 and Sigma DP1x, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers Casio and Sigma. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the EX-10 (12MP) and DP1x (5MP) and the EX-10 (1/1.7") and DP1x (APS-C) come with different sensor sizing.

The EX-10 was introduced 3 years later than the DP1x and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Casio EX-10 being a Compact camera and the Sigma DP1x being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting through a full comparison, below is a brief summation of how the EX-10 scores vs the DP1x in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

If you're planning to carry your camera frequently, you are going to need to think about its weight and proportions. The Casio EX-10 comes with physical dimensions of 120mm x 68mm x 49mm (4.7" x 2.7" x 1.9") along with a weight of 384 grams (0.85 lbs) and the Sigma DP1x has measurements of 113mm x 60mm x 50mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.0") having a weight of 250 grams (0.55 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you choose during that time. Here is the front view scale comparison of the EX-10 and the DP1x.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the EX-10 and DP1x is 83 and 88 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizing simply by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-10 and DP1x.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-10 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Casio EX-10 will provide greater detail using its extra 7MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer EX-10 provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
