Sigma DP2x vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizes just by going through a spec sheet. The image underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the DP2x and Quattro H.

Clearly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The DP2x due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Sigma Quattro H will produce extra detail having its extra 40MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged DP2x will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
