The Fujifilm X70 was released 6 years after the DP1s which is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before getting right into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple view of how the Fujifilm X70 grades vs the DP1s in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm X70 & Sigma DP1s. The complete galleries are available at Fujifilm X70 Gallery & Sigma DP1s Gallery.

If you are intending to carry around your camera often, you need to factor its weight and dimensions.

Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes simply by looking at technical specs. The picture underneath may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X70 and DP1s.

As you have seen, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Fujifilm X70 to give more detail as a result of its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X70 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
