Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The fp due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Sigma fp will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 15MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The younger fp should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
