The WB35F was revealed 5 years later than the DP1 and that is quite a sizable difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Samsung WB35F being a Compact camera and the Sigma DP1 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving through a in depth comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the WB35F matches up versus the DP1 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung WB35F & Sigma DP1. The full galleries are available at Samsung WB35F Gallery & Sigma DP1 Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera often, you will need to factor in its weight and proportions.

Generally, it is very hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading specs. The visual below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the WB35F and DP1.

All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB35F using its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Samsung WB35F will offer you more detail because of its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger WB35F should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
