The DP1s was revealed 5 years earlier than the A6000 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Sigma DP1s being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony A6000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving through a full comparison, below is a quick summation of how the DP1s scores versus the A6000 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Usually, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing just by seeing a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the DP1s and A6000.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony A6000 to produce greater detail because of its extra 19 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The older DP1s will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
