The fp L was announced 5 years later than the Quattro and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving right into a detailed comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the fp L grades versus the Quattro when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sigma fp L and Sigma sd Quattro. The whole galleries are viewable at Sigma fp L Gallery and Sigma Quattro Gallery.

If you are going to carry your camera frequently, you need to consider its weight and size.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have at that moment. Following is a front view proportions comparison of the fp L compared to the Quattro.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the fp L and Quattro is 83 and 63 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizing only by viewing specifications. The photograph here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the fp L and Quattro.

To sum up, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The fp L with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Sigma fp L will provide you with extra detail with its extra 32MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger fp L provides an edge in sensor tech.
