FujiFilm AV250 vs Sigma DP1s

Its time to take a closer look at the FujiFilm AV250 vs Sigma DP1s, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers FujiFilm and Sigma. There exists a big gap among the image resolutions of the AV250 (16MP) and DP1s (5MP) and the AV250 (1/2.3") and DP1s (APS-C) offer totally different sensor dimensions.

The AV250 was brought out 16 months after the DP1s making them a generation away from one another. Both cameras feature different body design with the FujiFilm AV250 being a Compact camera and the Sigma DP1s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before going into a detailed comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the AV250 matches up against the DP1s in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for FujiFilm FinePix AV250 and Sigma DP1s. The entire galleries are provided at FujiFilm AV250 Gallery and Sigma DP1s Gallery.

When you are going to travel with your camera, you will have to think about its weight and dimensions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you have attached at that time. Below is a front view measurement comparison of the AV250 against the DP1s.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the AV250 and DP1s is 94 and 90 respectively.

Typically, it is very tough to see the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by going through specifications. The pic here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the AV250 and DP1s.

Plainly, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The AV250 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the FujiFilm AV250 will produce more detail having its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent AV250 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
