FujiFilm S2950 vs Sigma fp

Below is a detailed comparison of the FujiFilm S2950 versus Sigma fp, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands FujiFilm and Sigma. There is a huge difference between the image resolutions of the S2950 (14MP) and fp (25MP) and the S2950 (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) feature different sensor dimensions.

The S2950 was unveiled 9 years before the fp and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the FujiFilm S2950 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the S2950 grades against the fp in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera often, you are going to need to take into account its weight and proportions.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you use at that time. Here is the front view over all size comparison of the S2950 versus the fp.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the S2950 and fp is 76 and 84 respectively.

Often, it can be hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements only by reading specifications. The graphic below might give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S2950 and fp.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S2950 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Sigma fp will offer you extra detail having an extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older S2950 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
