Samsung WB1100F vs Sigma fp L

The following is a in depth analysis of the Samsung WB1100F vs Sigma fp L, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals Samsung and Sigma. There exists a large gap among the resolutions of the WB1100F (16MP) and fp L (61MP) and the WB1100F (1/2.3") and fp L (Full frame) provide totally different sensor sizes.

The WB1100F was unveiled 8 years earlier than the fp L which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung WB1100F being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going into a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple view of how the WB1100F grades against the fp L in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung WB1100F & Sigma fp L. The full galleries are available at Samsung WB1100F Gallery & Sigma fp L Gallery.

If you're intending to travel with your camera, you'll need to factor in its weight and size. The Samsung WB1100F features external 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) whilst the Sigma fp L has specifications of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") accompanied by a weight of 427 grams (0.94 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you are employing at that time. Underneath is a front view scale comparison of the WB1100F versus the fp L.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the WB1100F and fp L is 67 and 83 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by seeing a spec sheet. The picture underneath may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the WB1100F and fp L.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WB1100F using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Sigma fp L will provide more detail having an extra 45 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged WB1100F will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
