Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 1D MII N and fp L is 50 and 83 respectively.

Sometimes, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by going over specs. The pic below may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 1D MII N and fp L.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 1D MII N having a tinier sensor will make getting bokeh more difficult and the Sigma fp L will offer extra detail because of its extra 53MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged 1D MII N is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
