The NX2000 was released 6 years prior to the fp which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a in-depth comparison, here is a short summary of how the NX2000 grades versus the fp with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung NX2000 and Sigma fp. The complete galleries are provided at Samsung NX2000 Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

If you're looking to travel with your camera frequently, you will want to factor its weight and measurements.

In many cases, it is hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by researching a spec sheet. The picture below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX2000 and fp.

Clearly, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The NX2000 due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp will render extra detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged NX2000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
