Canon SX50 HS vs Sigma fp

The following is a in depth overview of the Canon SX50 HS vs Sigma fp, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Canon and Sigma. There exists a huge gap among the resolutions of the SX50 HS (12MP) and fp (25MP) and the SX50 HS (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) provide totally different sensor sizes.

The SX50 HS was introduced 7 years before the fp which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX50 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going into a complete comparison, here is a short introduction of how the SX50 HS grades vs the fp in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX50 HS and Sigma fp. The whole galleries are provided at Canon SX50 HS Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

In case you're aiming to travel with your camera, you have to think about its weight and volume. The Canon SX50 HS provides outside measurements of 123mm x 87mm x 106mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 4.2") and a weight of 595 grams (1.31 lbs) and the Sigma fp has sizing of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") with a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you choose at that moment. Here is a front view measurement comparison of the SX50 HS vs the fp.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX50 HS and fp is 65 and 84 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by going through technical specs. The picture below will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX50 HS and fp.

As you can tell, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX50 HS using its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Sigma fp will produce greater detail using its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX50 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
