The fp L was announced 10 years after the WX9 which is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony WX9 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before delving in to a full comparison, below is a short highlight of how the fp L grades against the WX9 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sigma fp L & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX9. The whole galleries are viewable at Sigma fp L Gallery & Sony WX9 Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to travel with your camera frequently, you'll have to think about its weight and volume.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. The following is the front view measurement comparison of the fp L vs the WX9.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the fp L and WX9 is 83 and 99 respectively.

More often than not, it's tough to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions purely by checking a spec sheet. The picture below will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the fp L and WX9.

Clearly, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The fp L using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Sigma fp L will resolve more detail with its extra 45 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger fp L should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
