Samsung NX11 vs Sigma fp

Here, we will be looking at the Samsung NX11 versus Sigma fp, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Samsung and Sigma. There is a noticeable difference among the image resolutions of the NX11 (15MP) and fp (25MP) and the NX11 (APS-C) and fp (Full frame) provide totally different sensor dimensions.

The NX11 was unveiled 9 years prior to the fp and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung NX11 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight to a thorough comparison, here is a simple summary of how the NX11 scores versus the fp in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung NX11 & Sigma fp. The full galleries are viewable at Samsung NX11 Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to lug around your camera often, you will need to factor in its weight and size.

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are working with at that time. Below is a front view dimension comparison of the NX11 against the fp.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the NX11 and fp is 80 and 84 respectively.

In many cases, it is very hard to envision the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through a spec sheet. The visual here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX11 and fp.

As you can see, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX11 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp will produce extra detail having an extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The older NX11 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
