Samsung WB1100F vs Sigma fp

Let's examine more closely at the Samsung WB1100F versus Sigma fp, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Samsung and Sigma. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the WB1100F (16MP) and fp (25MP) and the WB1100F (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) use different sensor measurements.

The WB1100F was announced 6 years earlier than the fp which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Samsung WB1100F being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting through a comprehensive comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the WB1100F grades vs the fp in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Samsung WB1100F and Sigma fp. The whole galleries are available at Samsung WB1100F Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

When you are intending to travel with your camera regularly, you need to factor its weight and size. The Samsung WB1100F features outside dimensions of 125mm x 87mm x 96mm (4.9" x 3.4" x 3.8") along with a weight of 512 grams (1.13 lbs) while the Sigma fp has specifications of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") along with a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you choose during that time. Here is the front view proportions comparison of the WB1100F vs the fp.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the WB1100F and fp is 67 and 84 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to picture the difference between sensor dimensions only by going over a spec sheet. The picture underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB1100F and fp.

As you can see, both of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The WB1100F with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma fp will offer more detail with its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged WB1100F is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
