The SD10 was unveiled 18 years before the fp L which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Sigma SD10 being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go in to a in-depth comparison, below is a concise overview of how the SD10 matches up vs the fp L in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sigma SD10 and Sigma fp L. The full galleries are available at Sigma SD10 Gallery and Sigma fp L Gallery.

If you are looking to travel with your camera, you will need to factor in its weight and size.

Quite often, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions simply by checking specifications. The pic below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SD10 and fp L.

Plainly, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SD10 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sigma fp L will give you more detail having an extra 58 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images far more aggressively. The more aged SD10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
