Samsung WB850F vs Sigma DP2 Sensor Comparison
Normally, its difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by seeing specifications. The pic underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB850F and DP2.
Plainly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The WB850F due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung WB850F will show more detail due to its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more modern WB850F should have a benefit in sensor tech.
