Samsung CL80 vs Sigma DP2x

Let's look a bit more closely at the Samsung CL80 vs Sigma DP2x, former being a Ultracompact while the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by brands Samsung and Sigma. There exists a noticeable gap between the resolutions of the CL80 (14MP) and DP2x (5MP) and the CL80 (1/2.3") and DP2x (APS-C) boast totally different sensor sizes.

The CL80 was brought out 13 months before the DP2x which makes them a generation apart from one another. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Samsung CL80 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sigma DP2x being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving into a thorough comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the CL80 grades against the DP2x in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung CL80 & Sigma DP2x. The entire galleries are available at Samsung CL80 Gallery & Sigma DP2x Gallery.

When you are going to lug around your camera often, you will need to consider its weight and dimensions. The Samsung CL80 has got external measurements of 104mm x 58mm x 20mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 0.8") having a weight of 160 grams (0.35 lbs) and the Sigma DP2x has dimensions of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") and a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you have chosen at that time. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the CL80 versus the DP2x.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the CL80 and DP2x is 95 and 86 respectively.

More often than not, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through a spec sheet. The visual below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the CL80 and DP2x.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The CL80 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Samsung CL80 will give extra detail having its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older CL80 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
