Fujifilm S2000HD vs Sigma DP1 Merrill Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by reviewing specifications. The photograph underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S2000HD and DP1 Merrill.
Plainly, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S2000HD with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Sigma DP1 Merrill will deliver more detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S2000HD is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
