Panasonic LX10 vs Sigma DP1s Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very tough to envision the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out specifications. The photograph below may provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the LX10 and DP1s.

Plainly, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The LX10 featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic LX10 will provide greater detail due to its extra 15MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The fresher LX10 will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
