Sigma fp vs Fujifilm GFX 100S: Physical Specs and Body Features Comparison

Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, we are going to illustrate the Sigma fp and Fujifilm GFX 100S side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sigma fp has external dimensions of 113 x 70 x 45 mm (4.45 x 2.76 x 1.77″) and weighs 422 g (0.93 lb / 14.89 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm GFX 100S has external dimensions of 150 x 104 x 87 mm (5.91 x 4.09 x 3.43″) and weighs 900 g (1.98 lb / 31.75 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sigma fp and the Fujifilm GFX 100S. Sigma fp is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 37mm narrower, 34mm shorter and 42mm thinner than Fujifilm GFX 100S.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Sigma fp is significantly lighter (478g ) than the Fujifilm GFX 100S which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Fujifilm GFX 100S has a Medium format sensor and Sigma fp has a smaller Full frame sensor, Sigma fp's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Fujifilm GFX 100S lenses.

Weather Sealing

Both the fp and the GFX 100S have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Sigma fp and Fujifilm GFX 100S's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.20 inches.

On the other hand, Fujifilm GFX 100S 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 fp has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to GFX 100S.


Sigma fp vs Fujifilm GFX 100S: Sensor Comparison

Sigma fp has a 25.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 23.9 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Fujifilm GFX 100S has a 102.0MP Medium format (44 x 33 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features X-Processor 4 processor.

Fujifilm GFX 100S's sensor provides 77MP more than Sigma fp'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 and GFX 100S sensor size comparison.

As seen above, Fujifilm GFX 100S has a 1.7x Larger sensor area than Sigma fp. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.

Sigma fp vs Fujifilm GFX 100S Comparison of Available Lenses
Which camera has more lenses?

The number of available lenses is a big deciding factor when choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that the Sigma fp has an advantage over the Fujifilm GFX 100S. There are 62 lenses for the Sigma fp's Leica L mount, but on the other hand, there are only 15 lenses for the Fujifilm GFX 100S's Fujifilm G lens mount.

Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. Fujifilm GFX 100S has a big advantage in this regard because it has a sensor based image stabilization which means that all the lenses mounted to this body will be stabilized. On the other hand, Sigma fp doesn't have this feature so you have to buy a lens with optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 10 lenses for Leica L mount with Optical Image Stabilization features.
