Nikon D2H vs Sigma DP2x

Here is a comprehensive review of the Nikon D2H versus Sigma DP2x, one being a Pro DSLR and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Nikon and Sigma. The image resolution of the D2H (4MP) and the DP2x (5MP) is fairly close and both cameras posses the identical sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The D2H was brought out 8 years before the DP2x and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Nikon D2H being a Large SLR camera and the Sigma DP2x being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before diving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the D2H matches up versus the DP2x in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon D2H and Sigma DP2x. The entire galleries are viewable at Nikon D2H Gallery and Sigma DP2x Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have chosen at that time. Underneath is a front view dimension comparison of the D2H and the DP2x.

Considering size and weight, the portability rating of the D2H and DP2x is 51 and 86 respectively.

Often, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing only by looking through technical specs. The graphic below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the D2H and DP2x.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should anticipate the Sigma DP2x to render extra detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The older D2H will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
