The NX1000 was revealed 3 years later than the DP1 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Samsung NX1000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sigma DP1 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting in to a full comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the NX1000 matches up against the DP1 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Normally, its difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing just by reading through technical specs. The visual underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX1000 and DP1.

As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung NX1000 to give greater detail because of its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The younger NX1000 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
