Samsung NX2000 vs Sigma DP2s

Its time to look more in depth at the Samsung NX2000 and Sigma DP2s, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers Samsung and Sigma. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the NX2000 (20MP) and DP2s (5MP) but both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The NX2000 was announced 3 years later than the DP2s and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sigma DP2s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving right into a full comparison, here is a simple summary of how the NX2000 matches up versus the DP2s in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Samsung NX2000 and Sigma DP2s. The whole galleries are provided at Samsung NX2000 Gallery and Sigma DP2s Gallery.

When you are planning to lug around your camera, you will want to consider its weight and measurements. The Samsung NX2000 provides exterior dimensions of 119mm x 65mm x 36mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.4") and a weight of 228 grams (0.50 lbs) while the Sigma DP2s has proportions of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") having a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have chosen at the time. The following is a front view scale comparison of the NX2000 vs the DP2s.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the NX2000 and DP2s is 89 and 86 respectively.

Typically, it is tough to imagine the difference in sensor measurements just by seeing a spec sheet. The visual here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the NX2000 and DP2s.

Clearly, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Samsung NX2000 to show greater detail with its extra 15 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The newer NX2000 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
