Samsung WB750 vs Sigma fp

Let's look a bit more closely at the Samsung WB750 and Sigma fp, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals Samsung and Sigma. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the WB750 (13MP) and fp (25MP) and the WB750 (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) come with totally different sensor sizes.

The WB750 was introduced 8 years prior to the fp and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Samsung WB750 being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going through a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief summation of how the WB750 scores against the fp in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Samsung WB750 & Sigma fp. The whole galleries are available at Samsung WB750 Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera often, you have to factor its weight and proportions. The Samsung WB750 enjoys outer measurements of 105mm x 59mm x 25mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 1.0") having a weight of 193 grams (0.43 lbs) and the Sigma fp has measurements of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") with a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you select during that time. The following is the front view dimensions comparison of the WB750 versus the fp.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the WB750 and fp is 93 and 84 respectively.

Typically, its difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements simply by reading through specs. The photograph below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the WB750 and fp.

All in all, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB750 with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp will give you more detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The older WB750 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
