Canon SX740 HS vs Sigma fp L

Below is a in depth assessment of the Canon SX740 HS and Sigma fp L, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Canon and Sigma. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the SX740 HS (21MP) and fp L (61MP) and the SX740 HS (1/2.3") and fp L (Full frame) use totally different sensor measurements.

The SX740 HS was manufactured 3 years before the fp L and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX740 HS being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting in to a more detailed comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the SX740 HS scores vs the fp L with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX740 HS & Sigma fp L. The entire galleries are available at Canon SX740 HS Gallery & Sigma fp L Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to lug around your camera, you are going to need to factor its weight and volume. The Canon SX740 HS features outer measurements of 110mm x 64mm x 40mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.6") and a weight of 299 grams (0.66 lbs) and the Sigma fp L has sizing of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") along with a weight of 427 grams (0.94 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. The following is the front view physical size comparison of the SX740 HS compared to the fp L.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SX740 HS and fp L is 88 and 83 respectively.

More often than not, it is hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading specifications. The visual below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX740 HS and fp L.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX740 HS because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Sigma fp L will offer extra detail due to its extra 40 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The older SX740 HS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
