Canon SX730 HS vs Sigma fp

Let's look closer at the Canon SX730 HS and Sigma fp, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Canon and Sigma. The image resolution of the SX730 HS (20.3MP) and the fp (25MP) is fairly comparable but the SX730 HS (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) use totally different sensor measurements.

The SX730 HS was manufactured 3 years prior to the fp which is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX730 HS being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go through a thorough comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the SX730 HS matches up versus the fp for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX730 HS and Sigma fp. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon SX730 HS Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

For those who are going to travel with your camera often, you'll have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Canon SX730 HS offers external dimensions of 110mm x 64mm x 40mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.6") and a weight of 300 grams (0.66 lbs) and the Sigma fp has dimensions of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") along with a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are working with at that moment. Here is the front view measurements comparison of the SX730 HS compared to the fp.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SX730 HS and fp is 88 and 84 respectively.

Quite often, it's hard to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by going through specifications. The image underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the SX730 HS and fp.

Plainly, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX730 HS due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Sigma fp will provide greater detail due to its extra 4.7MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SX730 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
