Sigma Fp review: A miniature marvel with a fatal flaw

Sony. Canon. Nikon. Panasonic. Leica. Five companies were making full-frame mirrorless cameras before Sigma entered the fray with the Fp. It is a highly competitive arena. So how can Sigma hope to stand out? Apparently, by building a very weird camera. The Sigma Fp is a different breed. Inside and out, it doesn’t adhere to the design standards of other manufacturers. Despite this, or because of it, the Fp is one of the most intriguing cameras on the market. Depending on your point of view, it is either a miniature marvel or a frustrating flop. 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.

Ultra-compact design; Excellent build quality; RAW video; 24MP full-frame sensor; Relatively inexpensive;

No mechanical shutter; No built-in viewfinder or hot shoe; Contrast-detection-only autofocus; Poor battery life;
