Samsung ST150F vs Sigma DP2x Sensor Comparison

Plainly, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The ST150F because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh trickier and the Samsung ST150F will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent ST150F should have an edge in sensor technology.
