Leica X2 vs Sigma DP2s

Below, we are analyzing the Leica X2 vs Sigma DP2s, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras by companies Leica and Sigma. There exists a large gap between the sensor resolutions of the X2 (16MP) and DP2s (5MP) but they feature the exact same sensor sizing (APS-C).

The X2 was brought out 2 years later than the DP2s and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the X2 scores against the DP2s when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For those who are intending to lug around your camera frequently, you will want to factor its weight and proportions. The Leica X2 provides outer measurements of 124mm x 69mm x 52mm (4.9" x 2.7" x 2.0") having a weight of 345 grams (0.76 lbs) whilst the Sigma DP2s has measurements of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") and a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you have at that moment. The following is the front view proportions comparison of the X2 compared to the DP2s.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the X2 and DP2s is 83 and 86 respectively.

More often than not, its difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The visual underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the X2 and DP2s.

To sum up, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Leica X2 to deliver extra detail having its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The fresher X2 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
