To sum up, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The VG-110 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Sigma fp L will give you more detail as a result of its extra 49MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The older VG-110 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
