Sigma DP1s vs Sigma DP2 Quattro

The following is a complete assessment of the Sigma DP1s vs Sigma DP2 Quattro, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras and they are both designed by Sigma. There is a substantial difference between the sensor resolutions of the DP1s (5MP) and DP2 Quattro (20MP) but they come with the same exact sensor measurements (APS-C).

The DP1s was announced 5 years earlier than the DP2 Quattro which is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before we go in to a thorough comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the DP1s grades versus the DP2 Quattro when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Sigma DP1s & Sigma DP2 Quattro. The whole galleries are available at Sigma DP1s Gallery & Sigma DP2 Quattro Gallery.

For those who are intending to travel with your camera often, you'll need to consider its weight and measurements. The Sigma DP1s features physical dimensions of 109mm x 60mm x 31mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.2") accompanied by a weight of 270 grams (0.60 lbs) whilst the Sigma DP2 Quattro has proportions of 161mm x 67mm x 82mm (6.3" x 2.6" x 3.2") with a weight of 395 grams (0.87 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you are utilising at the time. Following is the front view over all size comparison of the DP1s against the DP2 Quattro.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability rating of the DP1s and DP2 Quattro is 90 and 70 respectively.

Often, its difficult to picture the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading through technical specs. The picture here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the DP1s and DP2 Quattro.

As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You can expect to see the Sigma DP2 Quattro to give greater detail with its extra 15MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged DP1s is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
