Leica CL vs Sigma fp

Below, we will be reviewing the Leica CL vs Sigma fp, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors Leica and Sigma. The sensor resolution of the CL (24MP) and the fp (25MP) is relatively similar but the CL (APS-C) and fp (Full frame) enjoy totally different sensor measurements.

The CL was revealed 19 months prior to the fp which makes the cameras a generation apart from one another. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving through a detailed comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the CL scores versus the fp with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica CL and Sigma fp. The full galleries are available at Leica CL Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

For anybody who is going to carry your camera frequently, you are going to need to consider its weight and size. The Leica CL enjoys external dimensions of 131mm x 78mm x 45mm (5.2" x 3.1" x 1.8") accompanied by a weight of 403 grams (0.89 lbs) whilst the Sigma fp has specifications 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 depending on the lens you use at that time. Here is the front view sizing comparison of the CL against the fp.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the CL and fp is 82 and 84 respectively.

Typically, its hard to envision the gap between sensor sizing only by reading technical specs. The visual underneath will give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the CL and fp.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The CL using its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp will offer you more detail because of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The older CL is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
