Sigma DP2x vs Sony T900 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The DP2x featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony T900 will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent DP2x is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
