Sigma fp vs Sony ZV-1

In this write-up, we will be analyzing the Sigma fp versus Sony ZV-1, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Sigma and Sony. There is a sizeable difference between the image resolutions of the fp (25MP) and ZV-1 (20MP) and the fp (Full frame) and ZV-1 (1") come with totally different sensor sizing.

The fp was brought out 10 months earlier than the ZV-1 which means that they are both of a similar generation. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony ZV-1 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting straight into a in depth comparison, below is a simple overview of how the fp scores versus the ZV-1 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Sigma fp and Sony ZV-1. The entire galleries are viewable at Sigma fp Gallery and Sony ZV-1 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to lug around your camera frequently, you have to take into account its weight and proportions.

Usually, it's hard to envision the difference between sensor measurements simply by reading technical specs. The graphic underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the fp and ZV-1.

As you have seen, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The fp because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sigma fp will offer greater detail having its extra 5MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older fp is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
