Canon SX70 HS vs Sigma fp

The following is a in depth assessment of the Canon SX70 HS versus Sigma fp, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Canon and Sigma. The sensor resolution of the SX70 HS (20MP) and the fp (25MP) is fairly close but the SX70 HS (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) posses totally different sensor size.

The SX70 HS was revealed 9 months prior to the fp and they are of a similar age. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Canon SX70 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving into a thorough comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the SX70 HS grades vs the fp with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX70 HS & Sigma fp. The full galleries are provided at Canon SX70 HS Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to travel with your camera often, you will want to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Canon SX70 HS has physical dimensions of 127mm x 91mm x 117mm (5.0" x 3.6" x 4.6") and a weight of 608 grams (1.34 lbs) whilst the Sigma fp has dimensions of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") having a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you are working with at that time. Below is a front view sizing comparison of the SX70 HS versus the fp.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the SX70 HS and fp is 63 and 84 respectively.

Oftentimes, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions simply by viewing specifications. The image below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX70 HS and fp.

To sum up, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX70 HS using its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Sigma fp will provide you with more detail because of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged SX70 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
