Sigma fp vs Sony a5000

Let's look a little more in depth at the Sigma fp vs Sony a5000, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Sigma and Sony. There is a huge difference among the sensor resolutions of the fp (25MP) and a5000 (20MP) and the fp (Full frame) and a5000 (APS-C) have totally different sensor size.

Before delving right into a more detailed comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the fp grades against the a5000 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sigma fp and Sony Alpha a5000. The complete galleries are available at Sigma fp Gallery and Sony a5000 Gallery.

All in all, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The fp featuring a larger sensor will make achieving bokeh simpler and the Sigma fp will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images way more aggressively. The newer fp is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
