Leica X (Typ 113) vs Sigma DP2s

Below, we are evaluating the Leica X (Typ 113) versus Sigma DP2s, both Large Sensor Compact cameras by competitors Leica and Sigma. There exists a big gap among the resolutions of the X (Typ 113) (16MP) and DP2s (5MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor size (APS-C).

The X (Typ 113) was brought out 4 years later than the DP2s and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a simple overview of how the X (Typ 113) grades versus the DP2s when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica X and Sigma DP2s. The entire galleries are available at Leica X (Typ 113) Gallery and Sigma DP2s Gallery.

When you are going to carry your camera often, you will want to consider its weight and proportions. The Leica X (Typ 113) offers external measurements of 133mm x 73mm x 78mm (5.2" x 2.9" x 3.1") having a weight of 486 grams (1.07 lbs) whilst the Sigma DP2s has measurements of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") along with a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are using at the time. Below is the front view size comparison of the X (Typ 113) versus the DP2s.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the X (Typ 113) and DP2s is 71 and 86 respectively.

Typically, it can be hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing purely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the X (Typ 113) and DP2s.

Clearly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Leica X (Typ 113) to produce more detail having its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images much more aggressively. The younger X (Typ 113) provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
