The E-1 was brought out 18 years earlier than the fp L which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus E-1 being a Large SLR camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go right into a in depth comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the E-1 matches up vs the fp L in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus E-1 & Sigma fp L. The entire galleries are viewable at Olympus E-1 Gallery & Sigma fp L Gallery.

As you can tell, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The E-1 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sigma fp L will provide extra detail having its extra 56MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged E-1 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
