Sigma fp vs Sony TX100V Sensor Comparison

Normally, its tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements merely by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the fp and TX100V.

As you can see, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The fp with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sigma fp will result in more detail with its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern fp provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
