Canon SX270 HS vs Sigma fp

Here is a in-depth review of the Canon SX270 HS vs Sigma fp, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Canon and Sigma. There is a substantial difference between the resolutions of the SX270 HS (12MP) and fp (25MP) and the SX270 HS (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) boast totally different sensor size.

The SX270 HS was announced 7 years before the fp and that is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX270 HS being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the SX270 HS grades vs the fp for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Often, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic here might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX270 HS and fp.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The SX270 HS using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp will offer you more detail with its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older SX270 HS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
