The M3 was manufactured 7 years before the fp L which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going straight to a full comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the M3 grades versus the fp L in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M3 and Sigma fp L. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon M3 Gallery and Sigma fp L Gallery.

For anyone who is going to carry around your camera, you will have to factor in its weight and volume.

Usually, it can be tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes only by checking specs. The pic here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the M3 and fp L.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M3 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sigma fp L will give you greater detail due to its extra 37 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M3 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
