Sigma fp vs Sigma fp L

In this write-up, we will be evaluating the Sigma fp vs Sigma fp L, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras and both are produced by Sigma. There exists a crucial gap between the image resolutions of the fp (25MP) and fp L (61MP) but they possess the same exact sensor size (Full frame).

Photography Glossary

The fp was released 20 months prior to the fp L which makes the cameras a generation away from one another. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go through a complete comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the fp scores against the fp L when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Sigma fp and Sigma fp L. The complete galleries are viewable at Sigma fp Gallery and Sigma fp L Gallery.

For anybody who is going to travel with your camera frequently, you will want to think about its weight and measurements. The Sigma fp has outer dimensions of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") having a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs) while the Sigma fp L has proportions of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") accompanied by a weight of 427 grams (0.94 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are using at that moment. The following is the front view scale comparison of the fp and the fp L.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the fp and fp L is 84 and 83 respectively.

Typically, it is very tough to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specifications. The picture here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the fp and fp L.

To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Sigma fp L to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 36 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged fp is going to be behind in sensor tech.
