The image quality was excellent, but I ultimately longed for a bit more resolution and wanted a lighter weight kit that matched the image quality of my main medium format system. That camera paired with the Sigma 45mm Contemporary lens made for an easy carry when out for the day or on weekend trips.

I was initially enticed by the small form factor of the fp and the modularity of the system. A little over a year ago I picked up the first iteration of the Sigma fp and thought it would be a nice lightweight carry-around camera when I didn’t want to haul out the big gear.

Remember that these cameras use an electronic shutter only, and this is why the maximum flash sync is lower than that of a camera with a mechanical shutter. The FP L doesn’t compare too badly considering the larger number of pixels to process, with a respectable 10fps but here again, the buffer is low (12 pictures as well).Īnother small difference is the maximum flash sync, which is 1/15s on the “L” model and 1/30s on the FP. The FP can shoot up to 18fps in continuous mode, which sounds really good but the buffer is poor with just 12 frames at full speed. On the FP L, a crop of 1.67x is applied on the sensor automatically, certainly because the camera can’t process all the information from the full width of the sensor at those frame rates.

One difference is found when recording 1080p at 100p or 120p. The 24MP chip has no low pass filter to maximise sharpness, whereas Sigma added one for the 61MP sensor to reduce aliasing and moiré, a choice made certainly to preserve more quality for video recording.Īs we said at the beginning, the video specs of the two cameras are identical when it comes to format, frame rate and resolution. The FP has a 24MP sensor whereas the FP L has 61MP.īoth sensors have a back-illuminated structure (BSI). The major difference between these two cameras is the resolution.
