Samsung TL100 vs Sigma DP2x Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by going through specifications. The graphic below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the TL100 and DP2x.

Plainly, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The TL100 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Samsung TL100 will produce extra detail having an extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older TL100 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
