Ricoh GR vs Sigma DP1s

Following is a in-depth comparison of the Ricoh GR and Sigma DP1s, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras by companies Ricoh and Sigma. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the GR (16MP) and DP1s (5MP) but they feature the exact same sensor measurements (APS-C).

The GR was unveiled 3 years after the DP1s which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before delving through a more detailed comparison, below is a concise view of how the GR scores vs the DP1s with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Ricoh GR & Sigma DP1s. The full galleries are viewable at Ricoh GR Gallery & Sigma DP1s Gallery.

When you are intending to carry around your camera frequently, you have to factor in its weight and measurements. The Ricoh GR offers external measurements of 117mm x 61mm x 35mm (4.6" x 2.4" x 1.4") along with a weight of 245 grams (0.54 lbs) and the Sigma DP1s has proportions of 109mm x 60mm x 31mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.2") along with a weight of 270 grams (0.60 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you select at that time. Following is the front view size comparison of the GR vs the DP1s.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the GR and DP1s is 90 and 90 respectively.

Normally, it's hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading a spec sheet. The image here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the GR and DP1s.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Ricoh GR to offer you more detail having an extra 11MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent GR is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
