FujiFilm S1800 vs Sigma DP2x Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading through specifications. The pic here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the S1800 and DP2x.

Plainly, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S1800 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the FujiFilm S1800 will give you extra detail using its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged S1800 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
