Canon M10 vs Sigma fp L Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through a spec sheet. The photograph here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the M10 and fp L.

As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M10 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh tougher and the Sigma fp L will provide greater detail because of its extra 43MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The older M10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
