Sigma DP2s vs Sigma fp

On this page, we are contrasting the Sigma DP2s versus Sigma fp, former is a Large Sensor Compact while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless and both of them are created by Sigma. There exists a noticeable gap among the resolutions of the DP2s (5MP) and fp (25MP) and the DP2s (APS-C) and fp (Full frame) posses different sensor measurements.

Photography Glossary

The DP2s was launched 10 years prior to the fp which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Sigma DP2s being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go right into a full comparison, here is a simple summation of how the DP2s matches up against the fp in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sigma DP2s & Sigma fp. The complete galleries are available at Sigma DP2s Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to travel with your camera regularly, you should think about its weight and dimensions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you have during that time. Below is a front view proportions comparison of the DP2s against the fp.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the DP2s and fp is 86 and 84 respectively.

Typically, its difficult to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through specifications. The picture below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the DP2s and fp.

To sum up, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The DP2s because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sigma fp will show greater detail utilizing its extra 20MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged DP2s will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
