Sigma DP1s vs Sony A6600

Here is a in-depth assessment of the Sigma DP1s and Sony A6600, one being a Large Sensor Compact and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Sigma and Sony. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the DP1s (5MP) and A6600 (24MP) but both cameras provide the same sensor measurements (APS-C).

The DP1s was introduced 11 years prior to the A6600 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Sigma DP1s being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony A6600 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a short overview of how the DP1s scores versus the A6600 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

In case you're going to carry your camera, you're going to have to factor in its weight and measurements. The Sigma DP1s offers outside measurements of 109mm x 60mm x 31mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.2") having a weight of 270 grams (0.60 lbs) while the Sony A6600 has proportions of 120mm x 67mm x 69mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 2.7") and a weight of 503 grams (1.11 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are working with during that time. The following is a front view sizing comparison of the DP1s vs the A6600.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the DP1s and A6600 is 90 and 77 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The visual here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the DP1s and A6600.

To sum up, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony A6600 to give you more detail using its extra 19MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images more aggressively. The older DP1s is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
