Kodak S-1 vs Sigma fp

Lets take a more detailed look at the Kodak S-1 versus Sigma fp, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals Kodak and Sigma. There exists a substantial gap between the resolutions of the S-1 (16MP) and fp (25MP) and the S-1 (Four Thirds) and fp (Full frame) posses different sensor dimensions.

The S-1 was unveiled 6 years earlier than the fp and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief summary of how the S-1 matches up vs the fp when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak Pixpro S-1 & Sigma fp. The full galleries are available at Kodak S-1 Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

For those who are looking to carry your camera, you'll need to factor in its weight and volume. The Kodak S-1 comes with external dimensions of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") along with a weight of 290 grams (0.64 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).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you are using at the time. Here is a front view scale comparison of the S-1 versus the fp.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S-1 and fp is 88 and 84 respectively.

Sometimes, it's tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizing simply by checking a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the S-1 and fp.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S-1 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp will resolve greater detail having an extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older S-1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
