Sigma Quattro H vs Sony NEX-5

Let's look a little more in depth at the Sigma Quattro H vs Sony NEX-5, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies Sigma and Sony. There is a huge difference among the image resolutions of the Quattro H (45MP) and NEX-5 (14MP) and the Quattro H (APS-H) and NEX-5 (APS-C) have different sensor dimensions.

The Quattro H was unveiled 5 years later than the NEX-5 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a detailed comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the Quattro H matches up against the NEX-5 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sigma sd Quattro H and Sony Alpha NEX-5. The full galleries are provided at Sigma Quattro H Gallery and Sony NEX-5 Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry your camera, you should think about its weight and proportions.

Often, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing simply by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Quattro H and NEX-5.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Quattro H using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will provide extra detail having an extra 31 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern Quattro H should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
