Samsung NX100 vs Sigma fp

Here is a extended analysis of the Samsung NX100 vs Sigma fp, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Samsung and Sigma. There exists a large gap among the sensor resolutions of the NX100 (15MP) and fp (25MP) and the NX100 (APS-C) and fp (Full frame) have totally different sensor measurements.

The NX100 was revealed 9 years before the fp and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving into a complete comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the NX100 scores vs the fp in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung NX100 & Sigma fp. The full galleries are available at Samsung NX100 Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

For those who are going to carry your camera often, you need to factor in its weight and proportions. The Samsung NX100 has outside dimensions of 120mm x 71mm x 35mm (4.7" x 2.8" x 1.4") along with a weight of 282 grams (0.62 lbs) while the Sigma fp has measurements of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") accompanied by a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you have chosen at that time. Here is a front view measurement comparison of the NX100 vs the fp.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the NX100 and fp is 88 and 84 respectively.

Sometimes, it is hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing simply by checking out specifications. The photograph below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the NX100 and fp.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The NX100 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sigma fp will produce more detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older NX100 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
