Casio EX-Z270 vs Sigma DP2s

Let's examine more closely at the Casio EX-Z270 and Sigma DP2s, former is a Ultracompact while the other is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Casio and Sigma. There exists a substantial gap between the resolutions of the EX-Z270 (10MP) and DP2s (5MP) and the EX-Z270 (1/2.5") and DP2s (APS-C) use different sensor sizing.

The EX-Z270 was brought out 13 months earlier than the DP2s making the cameras a generation away from one another. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Casio EX-Z270 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sigma DP2s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a short introduction of how the EX-Z270 grades versus the DP2s when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Normally, its hard to picture the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading specifications. The pic here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z270 and DP2s.

Plainly, both cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z270 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Casio EX-Z270 will offer you greater detail having its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z270 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
