As you can tell, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The fp with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sigma fp will render greater detail because of its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger fp should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
