Sigma is introducing the all-new Sigma fp, “the world’s smallest and lightest full-from mirrorless digital camera,” according to the release. It has dimensions of 112.6×69.9×45.3mm and body weight of 370g and is equipped with a 35mm Bayer full-frame sensor with 24.6 megapixels in a compact body. Suitable for everyday use by photographers of all skill levels, from novices to professionals, the Sigma fp is designed to produce images that of the highest quality and capable of supporting both serious still and cine shooting.
The Sigma fp features a dust and splash-proof body for difficult shooting environments. The absence of a mechanical shutter removes the potential for noise and shutter shock while increasing reliability. The Sigma fp uses the L-mount, characterized by a short flange focal length, large diameter, and superior durability. In addition to the wide-ranging choices of Sigma lenses, other manufacturers' lenses can be used through the L-Mount Alliance with Leica Camera AG and Panasonic Corporation. With the Sigma Mount Converter MC-21, Sigma SA mount and Sigma Canon EF mount lenses can also be used.
By supporting 12-bit CinemaDNG external recording for RAW video data and 4K UHD/24fps recording, the Sigma fp is capable of full-fledged video production. Alternating between still and cine shooting modes is possible with a flip of a switch. Each mode comes with a specially designed operation system and displays, making it possible to concentrate on shooting in each mode.
Pricing and availability for the Sigma fp full-frame mirrorless digital camera will be announced fall 2019.
