The GM1 was brought out 8 years prior to the fp L which is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a brief summation of how the GM1 scores vs the fp L with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 & Sigma fp L. The entire galleries are viewable at Panasonic GM1 Gallery & Sigma fp L Gallery.

In case you're planning to travel with your camera, you'll need to consider its weight and volume.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the GM1 and fp L is 93 and 83 respectively.

Normally, its hard to envision the difference in sensor dimensions simply by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the GM1 and fp L.

As you can see, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GM1 featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sigma fp L will show more detail having its extra 45 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged GM1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
