Panasonic GX7 vs Sigma fp

Let's look a little more closely at the Panasonic GX7 and Sigma fp, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by rivals Panasonic and Sigma. There is a big difference between the image resolutions of the GX7 (16MP) and fp (25MP) and the GX7 (Four Thirds) and fp (Full frame) boast totally different sensor measurements.

The GX7 was unveiled 6 years before the fp and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a complete comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the GX7 scores against the fp with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 and Sigma fp. The full galleries are provided at Panasonic GX7 Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

For anybody who is going to lug around your camera frequently, you will need to factor its weight and size.

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements only by reading through specs. The photograph underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the GX7 and fp.

All in all, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GX7 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp will give extra detail having an extra 9MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics more aggressively. The older GX7 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
