Samsung TL210 vs Sigma DP2x Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over technical specs. The image here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the TL210 and DP2x.

As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The TL210 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Samsung TL210 will deliver greater detail because of its extra 7MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TL210 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
