Sigma SD14 vs Sigma SD9

Let's take a deeper look at the Sigma SD14 versus Sigma SD9, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras and both are offered by Sigma. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the SD14 (5MP) and SD9 (3MP) but both cameras posses the same sensor measurements (APS-C).

The SD14 was released 3 years later than the SD9 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go right into a detailed comparison, here is a simple summary of how the SD14 matches up against the SD9 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sigma SD14 and Sigma SD9. The complete galleries are viewable at Sigma SD14 Gallery and Sigma SD9 Gallery.

When you are intending to lug around your camera, you will need to factor its weight and measurements. The Sigma SD14 features physical dimensions of 144mm x 107mm x 81mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.2") having a weight of 750 grams (1.65 lbs) and the Sigma SD9 has proportions of 152mm x 120mm x 79mm (6.0" x 4.7" x 3.1") with a weight of 950 grams (2.09 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are using during that time. Following is a front view measurements comparison of the SD14 versus the SD9.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SD14 and SD9 is 59 and 54 respectively.

Typically, it can be hard to see the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The graphic underneath will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SD14 and SD9.

Plainly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sigma SD14 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos more aggressively. The more modern SD14 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
