To sum up, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The DP2s because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony HX200V will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged DP2s will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
