Sigma DP1 vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison
Often, it can be difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements simply by going through specs. The visual here may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the DP1 and TX200V.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The DP1 due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony TX200V will provide more detail utilizing its extra 13MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older DP1 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
