Sigma DP1s vs Sony WX70

Below is a thorough review of the Sigma DP1s versus Sony WX70, one being a Large Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Sigma and Sony. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the DP1s (5MP) and WX70 (16MP) and the DP1s (APS-C) and WX70 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor sizing.

The DP1s was manufactured 3 years earlier than the WX70 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Sigma DP1s being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony WX70 being a Compact camera.

Before diving straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the DP1s grades vs the WX70 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Sigma DP1s and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX70. The entire galleries are viewable at Sigma DP1s Gallery and Sony WX70 Gallery.

In case you're looking to lug around your camera often, you'll need to think about its weight and measurements. The Sigma DP1s offers external measurements of 109mm x 60mm x 31mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.2") along with a weight of 270 grams (0.60 lbs) whilst the Sony WX70 has proportions of 92mm x 52mm x 19mm (3.6" x 2.0" x 0.7") and a weight of 114 grams (0.25 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have at the time. Here is the front view physical size comparison of the DP1s compared to the WX70.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the DP1s and WX70 is 90 and 97 respectively.

More often than not, it's hard to see the gap between sensor measurements just by looking at technical specs. The photograph underneath may provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the DP1s and WX70.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The DP1s because of its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony WX70 will give more detail due to its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The older DP1s is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
