Casio EX-Z800 vs Sigma fp L

In this article, we are looking at the Casio EX-Z800 versus Sigma fp L, one being a Ultracompact and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Casio and Sigma. There exists a crucial gap among the resolutions of the EX-Z800 (14MP) and fp L (61MP) and the EX-Z800 (1/2.3") and fp L (Full frame) feature different sensor sizes.

The EX-Z800 was introduced 11 years before the fp L and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Casio EX-Z800 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving in to a detailed comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the EX-Z800 grades against the fp L in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements only by looking through specs. The graphic here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z800 and fp L.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z800 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Sigma fp L will result in more detail using its extra 47MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The older EX-Z800 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
