Ricoh GR vs Sigma fp L

Below, we will be evaluating the Ricoh GR vs Sigma fp L, former is a Large Sensor Compact while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Ricoh and Sigma. There is a sizable difference between the resolutions of the GR (16MP) and fp L (61MP) and the GR (APS-C) and fp L (Full frame) feature totally different sensor sizes.

The GR was introduced 9 years earlier than the fp L which is quite a significant difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Ricoh GR being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving in to a full comparison, below is a brief summation of how the GR grades against the fp L in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Ricoh GR & Sigma fp L. The whole galleries are viewable at Ricoh GR Gallery & Sigma fp L Gallery.

For those who are planning to travel with your camera regularly, you should factor in its weight and proportions. The Ricoh GR features outside measurements of 117mm x 61mm x 35mm (4.6" x 2.4" x 1.4") and a weight of 245 grams (0.54 lbs) and 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).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are working with during that time. The following is the front view size comparison of the GR versus the fp L.

Considering size and weight, the portability score of the GR and fp L is 90 and 83 respectively.

In many cases, it can be hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions only by looking at a spec sheet. The image below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the GR and fp L.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The GR using its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sigma fp L will give you more detail using its extra 45 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged GR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
