As you have seen, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The T Type 701 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp will show more detail due to its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older T Type 701 will be behind in sensor innovation.
