Samsung NX1100 vs Sigma fp L

Let's take a closer look at the Samsung NX1100 versus Sigma fp L, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Samsung and Sigma. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the NX1100 (20MP) and fp L (61MP) and the NX1100 (APS-C) and fp L (Full frame) offer totally different sensor dimensions.

The NX1100 was announced 9 years earlier than the fp L which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a in-depth comparison, here is a short summary of how the NX1100 matches up versus the fp L for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung NX1100 and Sigma fp L. The whole galleries are available at Samsung NX1100 Gallery and Sigma fp L Gallery.

If you're looking to travel with your camera regularly, you will have to consider its weight and measurements. The Samsung NX1100 has external dimensions of 114mm x 63mm x 37mm (4.5" x 2.5" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 222 grams (0.49 lbs) and the Sigma fp L has proportions of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") accompanied by a weight of 427 grams (0.94 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are using at that moment. Following is a front view over all size comparison of the NX1100 compared to the fp L.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the NX1100 and fp L is 90 and 83 respectively.

Typically, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over a spec sheet. The pic here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the NX1100 and fp L.

As you can see, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The NX1100 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp L will offer greater detail with its extra 41MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged NX1100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
