Canon SX740 HS vs Sigma fp

Let's look more closely at the Canon SX740 HS versus Sigma fp, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Sigma. The resolution of the SX740 HS (21MP) and the fp (25MP) is very comparable but the SX740 HS (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) come with totally different sensor sizes.

The SX740 HS was released 11 months prior to the fp which means that they are of a similar generation. The two cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX740 HS being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving through a full comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the SX740 HS grades vs the fp in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX740 HS and Sigma fp. The complete galleries are provided at Canon SX740 HS Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

When you are planning to carry around your camera, you should consider its weight and proportions.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are working with during that time. The following is the front view measurements comparison of the SX740 HS compared to the fp.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the SX740 HS and fp is 88 and 84 respectively.

In many cases, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes purely by checking out technical specs. The image here may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX740 HS and fp.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX740 HS because of its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh tougher and the Sigma fp will show extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SX740 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
