Sigma DP2x vs Sony ZV-1 II

Lets examine more closely at the Sigma DP2x versus Sony ZV-1 II, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras by manufacturers Sigma and Sony. There is a noticeable difference between the sensor resolutions of the DP2x (5MP) and ZV-1 II (20MP) and the DP2x (APS-C) and ZV-1 II (1") come with totally different sensor size.

The DP2x was introduced 13 years earlier than the ZV-1 II and that is quite a sizable difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving in to a in-depth comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the DP2x grades vs the ZV-1 II with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Oftentimes, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reading through specs. The photograph here might give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the DP2x and ZV-1 II.

All in all, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The DP2x having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Sony ZV-1 II will resolve more detail using its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older DP2x is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
