Leica TL2 vs Sigma fp

Below, we are looking at the Leica TL2 and Sigma fp, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by companies Leica and Sigma. The resolution of the TL2 (24MP) and the fp (25MP) is very well matched but the TL2 (APS-C) and fp (Full frame) enjoy different sensor measurements.

The TL2 was announced 24 months before the fp making the cameras a generation apart from each other. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving through a in depth comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the TL2 scores against the fp in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica TL2 & Sigma fp. The whole galleries are available at Leica TL2 Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

In case you're going to carry your camera regularly, you need to factor its weight and dimensions. The Leica TL2 enjoys physical dimensions of 134mm x 69mm x 33mm (5.3" x 2.7" x 1.3") accompanied by a weight of 399 grams (0.88 lbs) and the Sigma fp has dimensions of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") along with a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you use at that time. Below is the front view over all size comparison of the TL2 vs the fp.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the TL2 and fp is 85 and 84 respectively.

Often, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing just by looking at specifications. The photograph below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TL2 and fp.

To sum up, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TL2 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sigma fp will resolve extra detail with its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older TL2 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
