Samsung WB250F vs Sigma DP1s

On this page, we will be matching up the Samsung WB250F and Sigma DP1s, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by competitors Samsung and Sigma. There is a significant difference among the sensor resolutions of the WB250F (14MP) and DP1s (5MP) and the WB250F (1/2.3") and DP1s (APS-C) offer totally different sensor sizes.

The WB250F was manufactured 3 years later than the DP1s and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Samsung WB250F being a Compact camera and the Sigma DP1s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before going into a in-depth comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the WB250F grades versus the DP1s with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Often, it's tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by checking out specifications. The photograph underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the WB250F and DP1s.

To sum up, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB250F featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Samsung WB250F will show greater detail due to its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent WB250F will have an edge in sensor technology.
