Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Sigma DP2 Quattro and Canon G1 X III side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sigma DP2 Quattro has external dimensions of 161 x 67 x 82 mm (6.34 x 2.64 x 3.23″) and weighs 395 g (0.87 lb / 13.93 oz) (including batteries). Canon G1 X III has external dimensions of 115 x 78 x 51 mm (4.53 x 3.07 x 2.01″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sigma DP2 Quattro and the Canon G1 X III. Canon G1 X III is 46mm narrower and 31mm thinner than Sigma DP2 Quattro but it is also 11mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sigma DP2 Quattro and Canon G1 X III.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sigma DP2 Quattro and Canon G1 X III.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sigma DP2 Quattro is 4g lighter than the Canon G1 X III but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the G1 X III, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the DP2 Quattro.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sigma DP2 Quattro and Canon G1 X III's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon G1 X III sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Sigma DP2 Quattro's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G1 X III.
