Panasonic LX10 vs Sigma DP2s Sensor Comparison
Generally, it is very hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements just by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the LX10 and DP2s.
As you can see, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The LX10 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic LX10 will give extra detail because of its extra 15MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent LX10 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
