Sigma DP2s vs Sony T90

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Sigma DP2s vs Sony T90, one being a Large Sensor Compact and the latter is a Ultracompact by brands Sigma and Sony. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the DP2s (5MP) and T90 (12MP) and the DP2s (APS-C) and T90 (1/2.3") possess different sensor sizing.

The DP2s was manufactured 13 months later than the T90 which makes the cameras a generation apart from one another. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Sigma DP2s being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony T90 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before delving straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a concise summation of how the DP2s scores vs the T90 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Sigma DP2s and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90. The entire galleries are provided at Sigma DP2s Gallery and Sony T90 Gallery.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you have chosen at that time. Underneath is the front view sizing comparison of the DP2s compared to the T90.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the DP2s and T90 is 86 and 96 respectively.

Normally, it is difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual below might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the DP2s and T90.

Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The DP2s due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Sony T90 will result in greater detail due to its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The fresher DP2s should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
