Samsung WB1100F vs Sigma SD1

Following is a extensive assessment of the Samsung WB1100F versus Sigma SD1, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Advanced DSLR by brands Samsung and Sigma. The image resolution of the WB1100F (16MP) and the SD1 (15MP) is relatively similar but the WB1100F (1/2.3") and SD1 (APS-C) have different sensor sizing.

The WB1100F was announced 3 years after the SD1 which is quite a significant difference as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung WB1100F being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma SD1 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before getting right into a in-depth comparison, here is a short view of how the WB1100F scores versus the SD1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung WB1100F & Sigma SD1. The whole galleries are provided at Samsung WB1100F Gallery & Sigma SD1 Gallery.

For those who are intending to carry around your camera often, you will need to take into account its weight and proportions.

Often, its hard to picture the gap between sensor sizes just by reading a spec sheet. The image below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the WB1100F and SD1.

Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The WB1100F using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung WB1100F will offer greater detail with its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The fresher WB1100F should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
