Samsung DV150F vs Sigma DP1x Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its hard to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by going over a spec sheet. The picture below might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the DV150F and DP1x.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The DV150F because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Samsung DV150F will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent DV150F is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
