Leica M9-P vs Sigma fp

Let's take a deeper look at the Leica M9-P versus Sigma fp, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Leica and Sigma. There is a sizeable difference between the resolutions of the M9-P (18MP) and fp (25MP) but both cameras posses the same sensor sizing (Full frame).

The M9-P was launched 9 years earlier than the fp and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the M9-P grades against the fp in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica M9-P and Sigma fp. The complete galleries are viewable at Leica M9-P Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to lug around your camera regularly, you will need to factor its weight and volume. The Leica M9-P features outside measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 37mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") with a weight of 600 grams (1.32 lbs) whilst the Sigma fp has sizing of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") along with a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are working with at that time. Underneath is a front view dimension comparison of the M9-P compared to the fp.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability score of the M9-P and fp is 78 and 84 respectively.

Usually, it's hard to see the gap between sensor measurements only by going over specifications. The visual below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M9-P and fp.

Plainly, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sigma fp to deliver extra detail utilizing its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older M9-P is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
