As you can tell, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The T Type 701 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Sigma fp L will resolve more detail because of its extra 45MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older T Type 701 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
