The following is a complete comparison of the Nikon Df vs Sigma SD14, both Advanced DSLR cameras by competitors Nikon and Sigma. There is a huge difference among the resolutions of the Df (16MP) and SD14 (5MP) and the Df (Full frame) and SD14 (APS-C) offer different sensor measurements.

The Df was announced 7 years after the SD14 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before going into a detailed comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the Df grades versus the SD14 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Df and Sigma SD14. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon Df Gallery and Sigma SD14 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to travel with your camera often, you'll need to take into account its weight and size. The Nikon Df features outside measurements of 144mm x 110mm x 67mm (5.7" x 4.3" x 2.6") having a weight of 760 grams (1.68 lbs) whilst the Sigma SD14 has specifications of 144mm x 107mm x 81mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.2") along with a weight of 750 grams (1.65 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have at that time. Following is a front view dimensions comparison of the Df compared to the SD14.

Generally, it can be difficult to picture the difference in sensor dimensions simply by going through a spec sheet. The pic below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Df and SD14.

Clearly, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Df using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon Df will provide greater detail with its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The younger Df should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
