Samsung WB700 vs Sigma DP2x Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the WB700 and DP2x.

Clearly, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB700 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Samsung WB700 will provide you with extra detail with its extra 9MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively.
