Canon R8 vs Sigma fp

The following is a extended review of the Canon R8 versus Sigma fp, both Advanced Mirrorless cameras by competitors Canon and Sigma. The resolution of the R8 (24MP) and the fp (25MP) is very close and they possess the same exact sensor sizes (Full frame).

The R8 was brought out 3 years after the fp which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Canon R8 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the R8 matches up against the fp with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

For anyone who is planning to travel with your camera frequently, you will need to think about its weight and measurements. The Canon R8 has exterior measurements of 133mm x 86mm x 70mm (5.2" x 3.4" x 2.8") having a weight of 461 grams (1.02 lbs) whilst the Sigma fp has proportions of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") and a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you have at that moment. Underneath is the front view dimension comparison of the R8 compared to the fp.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the R8 and fp is 71 and 84 respectively.

Usually, it can be hard to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by researching a spec sheet. The image here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the R8 and fp.

Clearly, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Sigma fp to render greater detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger R8 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
