The DP1x was introduced 7 years prior to the Quattro which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Sigma DP1x being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sigma Quattro being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go through a detailed comparison, below is a short view of how the DP1x scores versus the Quattro when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Sigma DP1x and Sigma sd Quattro. The whole galleries are available at Sigma DP1x Gallery and Sigma Quattro Gallery.

For anyone who is going to carry around your camera often, you'll have to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Sigma DP1x features physical measurements of 113mm x 60mm x 50mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.0") with a weight of 250 grams (0.55 lbs) and the Sigma Quattro has dimensions of 147mm x 95mm x 91mm (5.8" x 3.7" x 3.6") having a weight of 625 grams (1.38 lbs).

In many cases, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes just by reading through specifications. The pic below should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the DP1x and Quattro.

To sum up, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sigma Quattro to resolve extra detail using its extra 24MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged DP1x is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
