The FS15 was introduced 13 years prior to the fp L and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic FS15 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting through a full comparison, below is a brief summation of how the FS15 matches up against the fp L in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Generally, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing just by checking specifications. The visual here will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FS15 and fp L.

Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FS15 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma fp L will resolve more detail using its extra 49 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older FS15 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
