Sigma DP2s vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

Typically, its difficult to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through specifications. The picture below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the DP2s and fp.

To sum up, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The DP2s because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sigma fp will show greater detail utilizing its extra 20MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged DP2s will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
