Canon M6 vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor sizing merely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M6 and fp.

Clearly, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M6 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Sigma fp will result in extra detail due to its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images much more aggressively. The older M6 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
