Samsung SL102 vs Sigma Quattro Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by checking technical specs. The photograph here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SL102 and Quattro.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SL102 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sigma Quattro will give greater detail with its extra 19 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older SL102 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
