The DP1 was manufactured 16 months earlier than the DP2 which makes them a generation apart from one another. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before delving right into a detailed comparison, here is a short summation of how the DP1 grades against the DP2 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Sigma DP1 & Sigma DP2. The entire galleries are available at Sigma DP1 Gallery & Sigma DP2 Gallery.

For those who are looking to carry your camera regularly, you will have to take into account its weight and proportions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you have attached at the time. Underneath is a front view overall size comparison of the DP1 against the DP2.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the DP1 and DP2 is 87 and 86 respectively.

Quite often, it is tough to see the gap in sensor sizing just by researching technical specs. The photograph underneath may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the DP1 and DP2.

As you have seen, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size and the same megapixels so you can expect comparable quality of images however you would want to consider the age of the cameras into account. The older DP1 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
