Samsung DV150F vs Sigma DP2 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing simply by looking at specifications. The visual underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the DV150F and DP2.

Plainly, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The DV150F due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung DV150F will resolve greater detail having its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more recent DV150F should have a benefit in sensor technology.
