Sigma DP1 vs Sigma DP1s

Here, we will be evaluating the Sigma DP1 vs Sigma DP1s, both Large Sensor Compact cameras and both are designed by Sigma. The sensor resolution of the DP1 (5MP) and the DP1s (5MP) is pretty comparable and both cameras provide the identical sensor measurements (APS-C).

The DP1 was released 16 months prior to the DP1s which makes them a generation apart from one another. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving into a thorough comparison, here is a short overview of how the DP1 grades against the DP1s when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Sigma DP1 and Sigma DP1s. The complete galleries are available at Sigma DP1 Gallery and Sigma DP1s Gallery.

For those who are aiming to carry your camera regularly, you'll need to consider its weight and measurements. The Sigma DP1 enjoys external dimensions of 113mm x 60mm x 50mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.0") having a weight of 270 grams (0.60 lbs) and the Sigma DP1s has proportions of 109mm x 60mm x 31mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.2") with a weight of 270 grams (0.60 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have chosen at that moment. The following is a front view physical size comparison of the DP1 vs the DP1s.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the DP1 and DP1s is 87 and 90 respectively.

Sometimes, its difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through specifications. The photograph here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the DP1 and DP1s.

To sum up, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size and the identical MP and you should expect comparable quality of files though you will want to factor the production date of the cameras into account. The older DP1 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
