Konica Minolta 5D has a
6.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Sigma DP1s has a
5.0MP APS-C (20.7 x 13.8 mm ) sized CMOS (Foveon X3) sensor .
Below you can see the 5D and DP1s sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Konica Minolta 5D and Sigma DP1s Cameras
As seen above, Konica Minolta 5D has a 1.3x Larger sensor area than Sigma DP1s. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Konica Minolta 5D
or the
Sigma DP1s ,
including hyperfocal distance.
