Fujifilm S1 Pro vs Sigma DP1x Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes only by researching a spec sheet. The picture here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S1 Pro and DP1x.

Clearly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Sigma DP1x to render extra detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S1 Pro will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
