FujiFilm S3200 vs Sigma DP1

Lets look much closer at the FujiFilm S3200 versus Sigma DP1, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals FujiFilm and Sigma. There exists a big gap among the image resolutions of the S3200 (14MP) and DP1 (5MP) and the S3200 (1/2.3") and DP1 (APS-C) use totally different sensor sizes.

The S3200 was manufactured 2 years later than the DP1 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the FujiFilm S3200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma DP1 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before going in to a in-depth comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the S3200 scores versus the DP1 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are using at that moment. Here is the front view physical size comparison of the S3200 vs the DP1.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S3200 and DP1 is 67 and 87 respectively.

Normally, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements only by checking out technical specs. The visual underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S3200 and DP1.

As you have seen, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S3200 because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the FujiFilm S3200 will provide more detail due to its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The more modern S3200 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
