The PEN-F was brought out 6 years before the fp L which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving in to a in depth comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the PEN-F grades vs the fp L with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus PEN-F and Sigma fp L. The entire galleries are available at Olympus PEN-F Gallery and Sigma fp L Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry around your camera regularly, you will need to factor its weight and volume.

Often, it can be hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizes simply by looking through specifications. The pic below will help offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the PEN-F and fp L.

Plainly, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The PEN-F due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp L will result in greater detail having its extra 41MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged PEN-F will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
