The fp was announced 5 years prior to the A6700 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving through a more detailed comparison, below is a short overview of how the fp matches up vs the A6700 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sigma fp & Sony Alpha a6700. The whole galleries are provided at Sigma fp Gallery & Sony A6700 Gallery.

If you are looking to travel with your camera often, you need to think about its weight and volume.

More often than not, it is very hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions only by looking through a spec sheet. The picture underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the fp and A6700.

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The fp with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Sony A6700 will result in more detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged fp will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
