Canon SX270 HS vs Sigma fp L

The following is a comprehensive review of the Canon SX270 HS and Sigma fp L, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Canon and Sigma. There exists a crucial gap between the image resolutions of the SX270 HS (12MP) and fp L (61MP) and the SX270 HS (1/2.3") and fp L (Full frame) offer different sensor sizes.

The SX270 HS was released 9 years before the fp L which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX270 HS being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight to a full comparison, here is a simple overview of how the SX270 HS grades versus the fp L when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Typically, its hard to picture the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading a spec sheet. The image underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX270 HS and fp L.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX270 HS because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp L will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 49MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged SX270 HS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
