Below, we are matching up the Panasonic G100 and Sigma DP1s, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Panasonic and Sigma. There is a crucial difference between the sensor resolutions of the G100 (20MP) and DP1s (5MP) and the G100 (Four Thirds) and DP1s (APS-C) feature totally different sensor dimensions.

The G100 was brought out 10 years later than the DP1s and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic G100 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sigma DP1s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting through a detailed comparison, below is a short summary of how the G100 grades vs the DP1s with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Usually, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing only by checking specifications. The visual below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G100 and DP1s.

Plainly, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G100 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic G100 will give you extra detail having its extra 15MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The fresher G100 will have a benefit in sensor technology.
