Leica X (Typ 113) vs Sigma DP1s

Let's look closer at the Leica X (Typ 113) and Sigma DP1s, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras by competitors Leica and Sigma. There exists a substantial gap between the resolutions of the X (Typ 113) (16MP) and DP1s (5MP) but both cameras boast the identical sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The X (Typ 113) was unveiled 5 years later than the DP1s and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a simple view of how the X (Typ 113) scores vs the DP1s with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica X & Sigma DP1s. The full galleries are available at Leica X (Typ 113) Gallery & Sigma DP1s Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to carry your camera often, you have to factor in its weight and volume. The Leica X (Typ 113) has external measurements of 133mm x 73mm x 78mm (5.2" x 2.9" x 3.1") along with a weight of 486 grams (1.07 lbs) while the Sigma DP1s has sizing of 109mm x 60mm x 31mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.2") along with a weight of 270 grams (0.60 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you select at that time. Underneath is a front view scale comparison of the X (Typ 113) and the DP1s.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the X (Typ 113) and DP1s is 71 and 90 respectively.

More often than not, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing just by looking at specifications. The photograph below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the X (Typ 113) and DP1s.

To sum up, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Leica X (Typ 113) to give extra detail having an extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger X (Typ 113) is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
