Pentax WG-10 vs Sigma DP1s Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is very hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizing simply by checking specs. The visual underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the WG-10 and DP1s.
As you can plainly see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The WG-10 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Pentax WG-10 will resolve more detail having its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The younger WG-10 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
