Fujifilm S1 vs Sigma fp

Here is a detailed overview of the Fujifilm S1 vs Sigma fp, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals FujiFilm and Sigma. There is a crucial difference among the image resolutions of the Fujifilm S1 (16MP) and fp (25MP) and the Fujifilm S1 (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) have different sensor measurements.

The Fujifilm S1 was revealed 6 years earlier than the fp and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Fujifilm S1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go right into a in depth comparison, here is a short highlight of how the Fujifilm S1 scores versus the fp in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Fujifilm FinePix S1 and Sigma fp. The full galleries are provided at Fujifilm S1 Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

In case you're aiming to carry your camera, you have to think about its weight and dimensions. The Fujifilm S1 has got external measurements of 133mm x 91mm x 110mm (5.2" x 3.6" x 4.3") with a weight of 680 grams (1.50 lbs) and the Sigma fp has dimensions of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") and a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Often, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing merely by going through specifications. The photograph below should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S1 and fp.

Plainly, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S1 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma fp will provide extra detail because of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S1 will be behind in sensor technology.
