The Sigma FP2 brings significant upgrades to the ‘world’s smallest’ full-frame camera
Sigma has announced the FP2, an updated version of its compact full-frame mirrorless camera featuring a new 24.5-megapixel sensor and improved autofocus. While slightly heavier than its predecessor, the camera offers enhanced data speeds and video capabilities.
Why it matters
Represents a significant hardware update in the niche market of ultra-compact professional photography equipment.
Seven years after Sigma claimed its original fp was the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera, the company has announced a similarly compact follow-up with several welcome upgrades including an improved sensor, an articulating LCD display, and longer battery life. But this time around Sigma is only claiming its new FP2 is the “world’s smallest” full-frame shooter as those upgrades have increased its body-only weight by about six grams.
The Sigma FP2 will be available on November 11th and starts at $2,199 for the camera body alone. For $2,749 you can bundle it with Sigma’s upgraded EVF-21 viewfinder featuring a 5.76 million dot OLED panel and an eye sensor the camera uses to switch between its LCD screen and viewfinder. For the same price you can alternately bundle the new camera with an I-series 50mm F2 DG lens.
