Sigma DP2 Merrill vs Sigma DP2s

Let's take a deeper look at the Sigma DP2 Merrill versus Sigma DP2s, both Large Sensor Compact cameras and they are both created by Sigma. There is a considerable difference among the image resolutions of the DP2 Merrill (15MP) and DP2s (5MP) but they come with the same exact sensor measurements (APS-C).

The DP2 Merrill was revealed 24 months later than the DP2s which makes the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before we go in to a complete comparison, below is a quick view of how the DP2 Merrill matches up versus the DP2s in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Sigma DP2 Merrill & Sigma DP2s. The full galleries are provided at Sigma DP2 Merrill Gallery & Sigma DP2s Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to lug around your camera regularly, you will need to factor its weight and size. The Sigma DP2 Merrill has got external measurements of 122mm x 67mm x 59mm (4.8" x 2.6" x 2.3") along with a weight of 330 grams (0.73 lbs) while the Sigma DP2s has specifications of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") having a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you have attached during that time. Here is the front view measurements comparison of the DP2 Merrill compared to the DP2s.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the DP2 Merrill and DP2s is 83 and 86 respectively.

Usually, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor measurements merely by seeing technical specs. The graphic below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the DP2 Merrill and DP2s.

As you can tell, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can count on the Sigma DP2 Merrill to provide extra detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent DP2 Merrill provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
