Olympus E-P7 vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions just by looking through specs. The image below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-P7 and fp.

All in all, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The E-P7 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp will result in extra detail having an extra 5MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The fresher E-P7 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
