Sigma fp vs Sony RX10 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing merely by viewing technical specs. The graphic underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the fp and RX10.

As you have seen, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The fp due to its larger sensor will make shooting bokeh simpler and the Sigma fp will render more detail as a result of its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more recent fp will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
