To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1 J1 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sigma fp L will deliver greater detail because of its extra 51 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older 1 J1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
