All in all, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The DV150F using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma fp will produce more detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged DV150F will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
