Fujifilm X-M1 vs Sigma fp

Below is a in-depth overview of the Fujifilm X-M1 vs Sigma fp, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers FujiFilm and Sigma. There exists a sizeable gap between the image resolutions of the Fujifilm X-M1 (16MP) and fp (25MP) and the Fujifilm X-M1 (APS-C) and fp (Full frame) provide totally different sensor dimensions.

The Fujifilm X-M1 was revealed 6 years earlier than the fp and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting right into a in depth comparison, here is a brief summary of how the Fujifilm X-M1 grades versus the fp with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm X-M1 and Sigma fp. The full galleries are viewable at Fujifilm X-M1 Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

For those who are planning to lug around your camera frequently, you have to consider its weight and volume. The Fujifilm X-M1 has outside dimensions of 117mm x 67mm x 39mm (4.6" x 2.6" x 1.5") having a weight of 330 grams (0.73 lbs) while the Sigma fp has sizing of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") having a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you select during that time. Underneath is a front view dimension comparison of the Fujifilm X-M1 vs the fp.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm X-M1 and fp is 87 and 84 respectively.

Quite often, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements merely by checking technical specs. The photograph here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-M1 and fp.

As you have seen, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-M1 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp will give you greater detail because of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-M1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
