Canon SX240 HS vs Sigma fp

Lets look a little more in depth at the Canon SX240 HS and Sigma fp, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Canon and Sigma. There is a crucial difference among the resolutions of the SX240 HS (12MP) and fp (25MP) and the SX240 HS (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) possess totally different sensor size.

The SX240 HS was launched 8 years before the fp and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Canon SX240 HS being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight into a full comparison, below is a quick overview of how the SX240 HS grades vs the fp for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX240 HS and Sigma fp. The complete galleries are available at Canon SX240 HS Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

For those who are looking to lug around your camera, you will need to consider its weight and volume.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the SX240 HS and fp is 91 and 84 respectively.

Usually, it's hard to envision the contrast in sensor measurements simply by going through specifications. The photograph below might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX240 HS and fp.

Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX240 HS due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp will show greater detail utilizing its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The older SX240 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
