Before diving straight to a detailed comparison, here is a short overview of how the D6 scores against the fp in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon D6 and Sigma fp. The full galleries are viewable at Nikon D6 Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

More often than not, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions only by checking a spec sheet. The pic below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the D6 and fp.

As you can see, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should count on the Sigma fp to give more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent D6 should have an edge in sensor tech.
