Fujifilm A100 vs Sigma DP2s Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The image here might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm A100 and DP2s.

Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm A100 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm A100 will resolve extra detail utilizing its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm A100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
