Olympus FE-47 vs Sigma fp

Lets look more closely at the Olympus FE-47 versus Sigma fp, former is a Small Sensor Compact while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Olympus and Sigma. There exists a large gap between the sensor resolutions of the FE-47 (14MP) and fp (25MP) and the FE-47 (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) feature different sensor sizes.

The FE-47 was brought out 10 years before the fp which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Olympus FE-47 being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight into a full comparison, below is a short view of how the FE-47 grades vs the fp in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus FE-47 & Sigma fp. The entire galleries are viewable at Olympus FE-47 Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

In case you're going to travel with your camera, you'll have to consider its weight and volume. The Olympus FE-47 enjoys physical dimensions of 98mm x 61mm x 27mm (3.9" x 2.4" x 1.1") with a weight of 204 grams (0.45 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).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you have at that moment. The following is the front view measurements comparison of the FE-47 against the fp.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the FE-47 and fp is 93 and 84 respectively.

Typically, it can be difficult to picture the difference between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the FE-47 and fp.

Clearly, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FE-47 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp will offer you more detail having its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
