Canon SX700 HS vs Sigma fp L

Its time to look more closely at the Canon SX700 HS and Sigma fp L, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Canon and Sigma. There exists a considerable gap between the sensor resolutions of the SX700 HS (16MP) and fp L (61MP) and the SX700 HS (1/2.3") and fp L (Full frame) offer different sensor sizing.

The SX700 HS was revealed 8 years prior to the fp L which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX700 HS being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go right into a complete comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the SX700 HS scores versus the fp L in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX700 HS & Sigma fp L. The full galleries are viewable at Canon SX700 HS Gallery & Sigma fp L Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to travel with your camera often, you will want to factor in its weight and measurements.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX700 HS and fp L is 89 and 83 respectively.

Sometimes, its tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reviewing specifications. The picture below might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX700 HS and fp L.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX700 HS having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh harder and the Sigma fp L will deliver greater detail because of its extra 45MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged SX700 HS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
