Canon SX530 HS vs Sigma fp

Below, we are analyzing the Canon SX530 HS and Sigma fp, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Canon and Sigma. There is a huge difference among the resolutions of the SX530 HS (16MP) and fp (25MP) and the SX530 HS (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) come with different sensor sizing.

The SX530 HS was manufactured 5 years before the fp and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX530 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting in to a complete comparison, below is a concise summation of how the SX530 HS scores versus the fp in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have attached at that time. Following is the front view scale comparison of the SX530 HS compared to the fp.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability score of the SX530 HS and fp is 69 and 84 respectively.

Usually, it's difficult to imagine the difference in sensor measurements only by viewing specifications. The photograph below will give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX530 HS and fp.

To sum up, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX530 HS featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Sigma fp will render more detail due to its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older SX530 HS will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
