Sigma fp L vs Sony RX10 II

Below, we are analyzing the Sigma fp L vs Sony RX10 II, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Large Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Sigma and Sony. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the fp L (61MP) and RX10 II (20MP) and the fp L (Full frame) and RX10 II (1") use totally different sensor sizes.

The fp L was brought out 5 years later than the RX10 II and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony RX10 II being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go in to a thorough comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the fp L matches up versus the RX10 II with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sigma fp L and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 II. The entire galleries are provided at Sigma fp L Gallery and Sony RX10 II Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to lug around your camera frequently, you need to consider its weight and proportions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have attached during that time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the fp L and the RX10 II.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the fp L and RX10 II is 83 and 58 respectively.

More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements just by seeing a spec sheet. The visual here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the fp L and RX10 II.

Clearly, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The fp L because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Sigma fp L will provide more detail having its extra 41MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer fp L is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
