As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The DP2s using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony T900 will provide you with greater detail having an extra 7MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern DP2s provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
