Panasonic GH5S vs Sigma fp L

Lets look a little more in depth at the Panasonic GH5S versus Sigma fp L, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Panasonic and Sigma. There is a considerable difference among the resolutions of the GH5S (10MP) and fp L (61MP) and the GH5S (Four Thirds) and fp L (Full frame) come with different sensor size.

The GH5S was announced 4 years earlier than the fp L and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting through a comprehensive comparison, below is a short introduction of how the GH5S grades vs the fp L with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S & Sigma fp L. The whole galleries are available at Panasonic GH5S Gallery & Sigma fp L Gallery.

When you are going to lug around your camera, you're going to have to consider its weight and proportions. The Panasonic GH5S comes with outer measurements of 139mm x 98mm x 87mm (5.5" x 3.9" x 3.4") accompanied by a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) whilst the Sigma fp L has measurements of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") with a weight of 427 grams (0.94 lbs).

Oftentimes, it can be tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and fp L.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GH5S using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp L will result in extra detail with its extra 51MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older GH5S will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
