Nikon S800c vs Sigma fp

Here, we are comparing the Nikon S800c vs Sigma fp, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Nikon and Sigma. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the S800c (16MP) and fp (25MP) and the S800c (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) offer totally different sensor sizes.

The S800c was brought out 7 years earlier than the fp and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Nikon S800c being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting right into a thorough comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the S800c matches up versus the fp in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix S800c and Sigma fp. The entire galleries are viewable at Nikon S800c Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

If you are aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you'll have to think about its weight and volume. The Nikon S800c has outside measurements of 111mm x 60mm x 27mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 1.1") along with a weight of 184 grams (0.41 lbs) while the Sigma fp has sizing of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") and a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are using during that time. Following is a front view over all size comparison of the S800c versus the fp.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S800c and fp is 93 and 84 respectively.

Quite often, it can be tough to see the gap between sensor measurements only by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S800c and fp.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S800c due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp will deliver more detail having its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older S800c is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
