The HZ35W was unveiled 10 years earlier than the fp and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Samsung HZ35W being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving through a thorough comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the HZ35W matches up against the fp for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung HZ35W & Sigma fp. The full galleries are available at Samsung HZ35W Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizing purely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the HZ35W and fp.

As you can see, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The HZ35W with its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Sigma fp will provide extra detail having an extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The older HZ35W will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
