As you can plainly see, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The VH-410 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp will provide you with greater detail utilizing its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older VH-410 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
