Sigma DP2s vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison

Often, its hard to picture the gap between sensor sizes just by reviewing technical specs. The image underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the DP2s and Quattro H.

As you have seen, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The DP2s with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sigma Quattro H will offer you more detail using its extra 40 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged DP2s is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
