Fujifilm S5 Pro vs Sigma SD1 Sensor Comparison
Generally, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing only by reading technical specs. The graphic underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S5 Pro and SD1.
As you have seen, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Sigma SD1 to offer you more detail having its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S5 Pro is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
