Samsung DV300F vs Sigma DP1x Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizing merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the DV300F and DP1x.

Clearly, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The DV300F featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Samsung DV300F will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger DV300F should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
