Sigma Announces FP2 Compact Full-Frame Camera

Sigma's FP2 full-frame camera adds a faster 24.5MP sensor, articulating screen and longer battery life, from $2,199.

Sigma announced the FP2 seven years after the original fp, which the company claimed was the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera. The new model is slightly heavier: The Verge reported that body-only weight has risen by about six grams, so Sigma is claiming only the “world’s smallest” title this time. With the battery inserted, the FP2 is closer to 40 grams heavier than the original fp.

At $2,749, Sigma will bundle the FP2 with its upgraded EVF-21 viewfinder, which has a 5.76 million dot OLED panel and an eye sensor that switches the camera between its LCD screen and viewfinder. The same price applies to a bundle with an I-series 50mm F2 DG lens.

The main hardware change is a 24.5-megapixel, partially stacked, back-side illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor. Resolution is a small step down from the original fp’s 24.6 megapixels, but the new sensor architecture allows faster data reading, according to The Verge. The report said this brings a reduced rolling shutter effect in stills, although the camera remains limited to an electronic shutter; faster autofocus that now recognizes birds in addition to people and animals; still-image shooting at up to 20fps; and video up to 6K at 60fps, or 4K at 120fps when using only a cropped portion of the sensor.

The FP2 keeps the original’s streamlined, compact body, which The Verge said can still occasionally produce challenging ergonomics, particularly with a longer lens attached. Multiple tripod mounts support optional accessories including an extended grip and the viewfinder. Its 3.2-inch, 2.1-million dot LCD touchscreen can angle up and down for more shooting angles and also improves airflow and cooling so the camera can record video for longer.

Sigma added a full-size HDMI port, which The Verge described as more durable than the original fp’s micro HDMI port, along with two USB-C ports. One is limited to USB 2.0 speeds and is intended mainly for powering the camera or connecting accessories such as headphones or the viewfinder. The other is a 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 port for high-speed data transfers or for connecting an external SSD to capture footage in Apple’s ProRes RAW format.

The camera has a single SD card slot, so there is no option for redundant backup storage, but it includes 70GB of built-in storage for use if a memory card fills. Sigma also increased the battery capacity. The company says battery life is 30 percent longer than the original fp, equivalent to around 370 photos or about 130 minutes of video capture.
