Samsung NX200 vs Sigma DP2s

Below, we will be evaluating the Samsung NX200 vs Sigma DP2s, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers Samsung and Sigma. There is a big difference between the resolutions of the NX200 (20MP) and DP2s (5MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor size (APS-C).

The NX200 was announced 2 years later than the DP2s and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sigma DP2s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple overview of how the NX200 matches up vs the DP2s in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Samsung NX200 and Sigma DP2s. The whole galleries are viewable at Samsung NX200 Gallery and Sigma DP2s Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to lug around your camera frequently, you will want to factor its weight and volume. The Samsung NX200 features exterior measurements of 117mm x 63mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.4") with a weight of 223 grams (0.49 lbs) and the Sigma DP2s has sizing of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") along with a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you select at that moment. The following is the front view sizing comparison of the NX200 and the DP2s.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the NX200 and DP2s is 90 and 86 respectively.

Oftentimes, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements only by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the NX200 and DP2s.

As you can see, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Samsung NX200 to resolve greater detail with its extra 15 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent NX200 provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
