Sigma fp L has a
61.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Nikon Z8 has a
46.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 23.9 mm ) sized Stacked CMOS sensor and features Expeed 7 processor.
Sigma fp L's sensor provides 15MP more than Nikon Z8'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 fp L and Z8 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sigma fp L and Nikon Z8 Cameras
Sigma fp L and Nikon Z8 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Sigma fp L
or the
Nikon Z8 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
