Canon SX700 HS vs Sigma fp

On this page, we will be evaluating the Canon SX700 HS versus Sigma fp, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Canon and Sigma. There exists a considerable gap between the image resolutions of the SX700 HS (16MP) and fp (25MP) and the SX700 HS (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) have totally different sensor sizing.

The SX700 HS was revealed 6 years prior to the fp which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Canon SX700 HS being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going right into a in depth comparison, here is a brief overview of how the SX700 HS scores vs the fp with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX700 HS & Sigma fp. The full galleries are viewable at Canon SX700 HS Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

For those who are aiming to carry around your camera frequently, you should consider its weight and volume.

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are using at the time. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the SX700 HS compared to the fp.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX700 HS and fp is 89 and 84 respectively.

Sometimes, it's tough to envision the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading a spec sheet. The pic underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX700 HS and fp.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX700 HS with its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Sigma fp will offer you greater detail because of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged SX700 HS is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
