Sigma made sacrifices to get to that size, but not in build quality. Measuring 4.4 x 2.6 x 1.8 inches and weighing a hair under 15 ounces, it’s the smallest and lightest full-frame camera.
The Fp looks and feels like a small, matte black brick. I hope to see Foveon development continue as it offers advantages for certain still photography applications, but the switch was necessary to give the Fp such strong video capabilities. Two, it uses a regular 24.6-megapixel Bayer sensor instead of the Foveon X3 chip of previous Sigma cameras, like the SD Quattro H. One, it uses the Leica L mount as opposed to Sigma’s own SA mount, making it compatible with a number of lenses from Leica and Panasonic in addition to Sigma’s own. It is not entirely fair to say the Fp doesn’t adhere to any design standards, as it does embrace two that help give it a foothold. It is certainly unique, though, and that’s exciting. Maybe it doesn’t even have peers, but calling it “peerless” seems too strong a compliment. This makes it a tricky camera to rate in comparison to its peers, since it doesn’t seem to directly compete within its own price group.

It doesn’t have a viewfinder or mechanical shutter, for example, but it does shoot RAW video and offer a computational low ISO of 6. The Fp can’t do a lot of things other cameras in the $2,000 price range can. It will appeal most to videographers, but for the purpose of this review, I’ll be looking at the Fp primarily as a still camera. Depending on your point of view, it is either a miniature marvel or a frustrating flop. Despite this, or because of it, the Fp is one of the most intriguing cameras on the market. Inside and out, it doesn’t adhere to the design standards of other manufacturers. Fitbit Versa 3Īpparently, by building a very weird camera. We don’t have local prices as yet but US prices are US$2499 body-only, or US$2999 with the EVF 11, which on its own has a US price of $699. The fp L is slated for worldwide release ‘end of April’. It will be compatible with the original fp via an upcoming firmware update. The EVF-11 will be available in a kit with the fp L, or available on its own. The finder also has a 90-degree tilting design for easier use at lower working angles. The EVF-11 Electronic Viewfinder attaches to the left side of the camera body and offers a 0.5-inch, 3.68m-dot OLED panel for eye-level viewing. If working in multiple camera scenarios, customized features can now be shared between cameras via unique QR codes, and you can also take screenshots of the fp L’s own LCD screen for notetaking purposes.

There’s a new Crop Zoom function, for cropping down to simulate working at higher magnifications Duotone and Powder Blue colour modes true 24.00 fps recording for a cinematic look and improvements to the Director’s Viewfinder function, which includes new compatible cinema cameras and customisable frame lines.īeyond the sensor updates, the Sigma fp L also introduces a series of usability improvements, including the ability to receive continuous power via USB-C, such as for time-lapse shooting, long recording takes, or even if using the fp L as a webcam. The new sensor also now features on-chip phase-detection autofocus, in addition to contrast-detection focusing, which allows for faster, more precise focusing performance and subject tracking in various lighting conditions. The 61-megapixel resolution can be down-sampled for sharper footage, and an optical low pass filter helps to cut moiré for both stills and video. If recording externally, then 12-bit sampling is possible, along with the ability to record directly to SSDs via the USB Type-C port. The sensor enables UHD 4K video recording up to 30 fps or FHD at 120 fps, and internal 8-bit Cinema DNG recording is possible.
The 61MP full-frame BSI CMOS Bayer array sensor offers improved detail while maintaining impressive dynamic range and sensitivity range from ISO 100-25,600.
