Sigma SD10 vs Sigma Quattro H

Here, we will be evaluating the Sigma SD10 versus Sigma Quattro H, one is a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless and they are both created by Sigma. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the SD10 (3MP) and Quattro H (45MP) and the SD10 (APS-C) and Quattro H (APS-H) have different sensor measurements.

The SD10 was manufactured 13 years prior to the Quattro H which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Sigma SD10 being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sigma Quattro H being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a full comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the SD10 grades versus the Quattro H when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SD10 and Quattro H is 54 and 78 respectively.

Typically, it's difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizes merely by looking through specs. The pic below should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SD10 and Quattro H.

All in all, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SD10 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will result in more detail due to its extra 42MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged SD10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
