Sigma fp L vs Zeiss ZX1

In this article, we are reviewing the Sigma fp L versus Zeiss ZX1, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers Sigma and Zeiss. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the fp L (61MP) and ZX1 (37MP) but they feature the same exact sensor sizing (Full frame).

The fp L was brought out 2 years later than the ZX1 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Zeiss ZX1 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the fp L scores versus the ZX1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Typically, its tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by researching specifications. The photograph underneath will give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the fp L and ZX1.

To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sigma fp L to provide you with more detail having its extra 24 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The newer fp L is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
