Sigma fp vs Sony A6700 Sensor Comparison

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.
