Nikon D600 vs Sigma SD10 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing just by seeing specifications. The photograph underneath will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the D600 and SD10.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The D600 featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Nikon D600 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 21MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent D600 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
