All in all, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The fp with its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Sigma fp will show more detail using its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The newer fp will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
