Canon SX530 HS vs Sigma fp L

Below, we will be analyzing the Canon SX530 HS vs Sigma fp L, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Sigma. There exists a huge gap among the sensor resolutions of the SX530 HS (16MP) and fp L (61MP) and the SX530 HS (1/2.3") and fp L (Full frame) come with totally different sensor sizing.

The SX530 HS was manufactured 7 years prior to the fp L and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX530 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a quick overview of how the SX530 HS grades against the fp L with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have during that time. Following is the front view scale comparison of the SX530 HS against the fp L.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX530 HS and fp L is 69 and 83 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching technical specs. The graphic here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX530 HS and fp L.

As you can tell, both cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SX530 HS due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp L will provide you with more detail due to its extra 45 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The older SX530 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
