The M10 was unveiled 4 years before the fp and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the M10 matches up versus the fp with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Canon M10 vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

Normally, its difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizing purely by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the M10 and fp.

Clearly, each of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M10 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sigma fp will produce greater detail having an extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older M10 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
