Sigma fp L initial review

We've just completed our studio scene analysis of Sigma's diminutive fp L high-resolution mirrorless camera – take a look at how its 61 megapixel sensor performs against other mirrorless options in both Raw and JPEG, at high and low ISO values.

Sigma fp L Review

Compact, full-frame camera ; Excellent 60MP imaging ; 4K Raw video support ; Creative color profiles ; L-mount lens support ; EVF, grips, and other accessories available ; USB-C charging and power

Slow electronic shutter distorts moving subjects ; Add-ons compromise size and add cost ; Small buffer slows down burst capture ; Omits in-body stabilization

The Sigma fp L pushes the limits of tech with a 60MP full-frame sensor and an extensible design concept, but its electronic shutter readout makes it unsuitable for handheld photography.

Small size ; Very good value ; Dual Still/Cine modes ; 61MP resolution

Awkward with bigger lenses ; Poor video AF ; Fixed rear screen

The Sigma fp L’s tiny body does bring some handling issues and places a lot of reliance on external accessories – not least its optional clip-on EVF – and while the new phase-detect AF system is great for stills, the video AF remains slow and...

Sigma fp L Review

We review Sigma's 61mp mirrorless camera, the Sigma fp L with a full-frame sensor, L-Mount, and 4K video recording, as well as a new electronic viewfinder, the EVF-11.

The Sigma fp L is currently the smallest and cheapest mirrorless camera with a 61mp full-frame sensor. It has improved focus, but still remains relatively slow compared to other cameras. For the videographer or CINE film-maker, this camera might be...
