Sigma DP2x vs Sony RX10

The following is a in-depth overview of the Sigma DP2x versus Sony RX10, one is a Large Sensor Compact and the latter is a Large Sensor Superzoom by rivals Sigma and Sony. There exists a significant gap between the image resolutions of the DP2x (5MP) and RX10 (20MP) and the DP2x (APS-C) and RX10 (1") use totally different sensor measurements.

The DP2x was manufactured 4 years before the RX10 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Sigma DP2x being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony RX10 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the DP2x matches up versus the RX10 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Sigma DP2x and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10. The entire galleries are viewable at Sigma DP2x Gallery and Sony RX10 Gallery.

If you're planning to travel with your camera frequently, you will have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Sigma DP2x features outer measurements of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") and a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs) whilst the Sony RX10 has dimensions of 129mm x 88mm x 102mm (5.1" x 3.5" x 4.0") accompanied by a weight of 813 grams (1.79 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have chosen at that time. The following is the front view physical size comparison of the DP2x versus the RX10.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the DP2x and RX10 is 86 and 58 respectively.

Typically, it is very tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking specifications. The picture below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the DP2x and RX10.

To sum up, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The DP2x due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Sony RX10 will give greater detail due to its extra 15MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged DP2x is going to be behind in sensor tech.
