The M was brought out 9 years earlier than the fp L which is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving through a detailed comparison, below is a simple view of how the M grades vs the fp L with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M & Sigma fp L. The entire galleries are available at Canon M Gallery & Sigma fp L Gallery.

If you are looking to travel with your camera regularly, you will need to factor in its weight and measurements.

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are utilizing at the time. Following is the front view dimensions comparison of the M compared to the fp L.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M and fp L is 89 and 83 respectively.

More often than not, its hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specifications. The pic below might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M and fp L.

To sum up, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma fp L will give you extra detail having its extra 43MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged M is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
