Samsung WB350F vs Sigma DP2s

Let's look a little more in depth at the Samsung WB350F vs Sigma DP2s, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Samsung and Sigma. There exists a big gap among the sensor resolutions of the WB350F (16MP) and DP2s (5MP) and the WB350F (1/2.3") and DP2s (APS-C) feature totally different sensor size.

The WB350F was unveiled 3 years later than the DP2s and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Samsung WB350F being a Compact camera and the Sigma DP2s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before going straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the WB350F matches up versus the DP2s when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung WB350F and Sigma DP2s. The full galleries are available at Samsung WB350F Gallery and Sigma DP2s Gallery.

In case you're going to lug around your camera frequently, you will have to think about its weight and dimensions.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you choose at the time. Underneath is the front view measurement comparison of the WB350F versus the DP2s.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the WB350F and DP2s is 90 and 86 respectively.

Typically, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements merely by viewing specs. The graphic below should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB350F and DP2s.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB350F having a smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Samsung WB350F will render more detail having an extra 11MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos much more aggressively. The younger WB350F is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
