Fujifilm X-A5 vs Sigma Quattro H: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Fujifilm X-A5 and Sigma Quattro H side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X-A5 has external dimensions of 117 x 68 x 40 mm (4.61 x 2.68 x 1.57″) and weighs 361 g (0.80 lb / 12.73 oz) (including batteries). Sigma Quattro H has external dimensions of 147 x 95 x 91 mm (5.79 x 3.74 x 3.58″) and weighs (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Fujifilm X-A5 and Sigma Quattro H. Fujifilm X-A5 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 30mm narrower, 27mm shorter and 51mm thinner than Sigma Quattro H.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Sigma Quattro H is 361g lighter than the Fujifilm X-A5 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Sigma Quattro H has an APS-H sized sensor and Fujifilm X-A5 has a smaller APS-C sensor, Fujifilm X-A5's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Sigma Quattro H lenses.

Weather Sealing

Thanks to the weather sealed body of Quattro H, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to X-A5.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm X-A5 and Sigma Quattro H's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".

On the other hand, Fujifilm X-A5 features a Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels whereas the Sigma Quattro H has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-A5.
Fujifilm X-A5 vs Sigma Quattro H: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm X-A5 has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Sigma Quattro H has a 45.0MP APS-H (26.6 x 17.9 mm ) sized CMOS (Foveon X3) sensor and features Dual TRUE III processor.

Sigma Quattro H's sensor provides 21MP more than Fujifilm X-A5's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.

Below you can see the X-A5 and Quattro H sensor size comparison.
