Fujifilm X-Pro1 vs Sigma fp L Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizes just by checking specifications. The pic underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and fp L.

Plainly, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-Pro1 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp L will give extra detail because of its extra 45MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-Pro1 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
