There exists a considerable gap between the resolutions of the S200 (10MP) and fp (25MP) and the S200 (1/1.7") and fp (Full frame) posses totally different sensor sizing.

The S200 was announced 6 years before the fp which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Canon S200 being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise overview of how the S200 scores versus the fp in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot S200 & Sigma fp. The whole galleries are provided at Canon S200 Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

For those who are aiming to travel with your camera regularly, you will have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you are employing during that time. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the S200 compared to the fp.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S200 and fp is 93 and 84 respectively.

Quite often, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by going over a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S200 and fp.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S200 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp will offer extra detail with its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged S200 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
