Casio EX-Z270 vs Sigma fp

On this page, we will be reviewing the Casio EX-Z270 versus Sigma fp, former being a Ultracompact while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Casio and Sigma. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the EX-Z270 (10MP) and fp (25MP) and the EX-Z270 (1/2.5") and fp (Full frame) provide different sensor size.

The EX-Z270 was revealed 11 years before the fp and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Casio EX-Z270 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight to a full comparison, here is a short summary of how the EX-Z270 scores against the fp with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Casio Exilim EX-Z270 & Sigma fp. The full galleries are provided at Casio EX-Z270 Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera often, you will need to factor in its weight and proportions. The Casio EX-Z270 has outer measurements of 97mm x 55mm x 22mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 0.9") along with a weight of 111 grams (0.24 lbs) while the Sigma fp has measurements of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") along with a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you are working with during that time. The following is a front view physical size comparison of the EX-Z270 compared to the fp.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the EX-Z270 and fp is 96 and 84 respectively.

More often than not, it's difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements just by going over technical specs. The photograph below may offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z270 and fp.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z270 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Sigma fp will deliver more detail because of its extra 15MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
