Sigma DP2x vs Zeiss ZX1

On this page, we are comparing the Sigma DP2x vs Zeiss ZX1, both Large Sensor Compact digital cameras by rivals Sigma and Zeiss. There is a significant difference between the sensor resolutions of the DP2x (5MP) and ZX1 (37MP) and the DP2x (APS-C) and ZX1 (Full frame) offer different sensor measurements.

The DP2x was launched 8 years earlier than the ZX1 which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before getting right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the DP2x matches up against the ZX1 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sigma DP2x and Zeiss ZX1. The complete galleries are available at Sigma DP2x Gallery and Zeiss ZX1 Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to travel with your camera, you're going to have to think about its weight and dimensions. The Sigma DP2x enjoys outside dimensions of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") with a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs) and the Zeiss ZX1 has dimensions of 142mm x 93mm x 46mm (5.6" x 3.7" x 1.8") having a weight of 800 grams (1.76 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are using at that moment. The following is a front view over all size comparison of the DP2x and the ZX1.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the DP2x and ZX1 is 86 and 67 respectively.

Oftentimes, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through specs. The picture below should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the DP2x and ZX1.

All in all, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The DP2x because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Zeiss ZX1 will resolve more detail utilizing its extra 32 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged DP2x is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
