More often than not, it can be hard to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions simply by viewing specs. The picture underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the VG-145 and fp L.

All in all, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The VG-145 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Sigma fp L will render greater detail having an extra 47MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged VG-145 will be behind in sensor tech.
