Nikon 1 S2 vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is hard to visualize the difference in sensor measurements just by going through specifications. The visual here should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1 S2 and Quattro H.

Plainly, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1 S2 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will show extra detail using its extra 30.8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older 1 S2 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
