As you can see, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The fp featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sigma fp will deliver more detail having its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more modern fp is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
