Sigma fp vs Sony RX10 II

Let's take a closer look at the Sigma fp versus Sony RX10 II, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Large Sensor Superzoom by rivals Sigma and Sony. There exists a significant gap between the resolutions of the fp (25MP) and RX10 II (20MP) and the fp (Full frame) and RX10 II (1") enjoy totally different sensor measurements.

The fp was unveiled 4 years after the RX10 II which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony RX10 II being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going in to a more detailed comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the fp scores versus the RX10 II with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sigma fp and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 II. The full galleries are viewable at Sigma fp Gallery and Sony RX10 II Gallery.

If you're looking to carry around your camera frequently, you should factor its weight and measurements.

More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes just by checking specifications. The pic here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the fp and RX10 II.

Plainly, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The fp having a larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Sigma fp will resolve extra detail having an extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more modern fp is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
