Sigma fp L Digital Camera Body

Arriving as one of the World's most compact and lightweight full-frame digital cameras, despite its size, the Sigma fp L is packed to the brim with professional features that will cater to a wide range of users and applications. Unlike its processor, the Sigma fp, this body features a super-powerful 61 Megapixel Back-illuminated Bayer CMOS sensor that is capable of great things. It's able to capture incredibly high-quality images and video footage with exceptional detail and accurate colour rendition. Along with an impressively fast Hybrid AF system, the fp L also features an advanced Crop Zoom mode which allows you to utilise the massive 61MP sensor, zooming into an image whilst maintaining detail and clarity. Thanks to its size and power, this camera can be used for a range of applications from Pro-video capture, to use as a high-quality webcam via its USB-C connection. And of course, incorporating the versatile L-Mount fitting affords you a wide range of compatible lenses to elevate your production that bi

Great Things in Small Packages

The Sigma fp L is afforded a mighty 61 Megapixel Back-illuminated Bayer CMOS sensor which in turn is this camera's key to unlocking impeccable image quality for both stills and video capture. The footage is exceptionally detailed and features precision colour rendering that results in true-to-life colours. In addition to this powerful sensor, Sigma included a low-pass filter which further adds to the overall optical performance of the fp L by significantly reducing the effects and appearance of moiré.

Intuitive Pinch and Zoom

Having such a powerful 61MP imaging sensor not only provides that incredible image quality at full-resolution, but the quality can be maintained when cropping into an image. Because of this, Sigma produced a specific digital Crop Zoom feature which is designed for use in both the Cine and Stills modes, effectively increasing the focal length of your lens. Video-wise, this feature can be best utilised when filming in full HD where you can achieve a maximum of a 5x zoom without even a hint of lowered image quality. The Crop Zoom feature is designed to make your shooting more flexible, especially when using fixed-length prime lenses, as well as for those who travel and require a reduced weight capacity.

Fast and Accurate AF

Yet another surprise in this tiny full-frame camera is its advanced autofocus system. This system uses both a highly accurate contrast AF as well as an impressively quick phase-detection AF. With this Hybrid Autofocus, the Sigma fp L is capable of great things, accurately and quickly acquiring focus, and then maintaining that focus as it tracks your subject across the frame. Moreover, this is effective across both stills and video productions, which only adds to the versatility of this camera.

Stylish, Robust, Portable

The fp L adopts the same form factor as its predecessor, the Sigma fp. Both the front and back sides of the camera are covered with die-cast Aluminium-Alloy that is lightweight, durable and provides a premium finish. Again, thermal conductivity is ensured thanks to Sigma's advanced heat-sink construction and as with the fp, the fp L is sealed at the same 42 points to guard against dust and moisture. Finally, another feature that is brought through to this body is the ever-useful ¼-inch thread which can be used for mounting to a tripod, gimbal or even a strap holder. This, of course, provides even more flexibility to what is the ultimate travel camera. But this lightweight a versatile build lens itself to all sorts of applications where size and/or discretion comes into consideration.

FAQs:

How does the fp L differ to the original Sigma fp?

The fp L is host to a range of new features, but most notably is the massively upgraded 61MP sensor over the fp's 24.6MP sensor. This huge sensor upgrade allows this camera to become the ultimate camera for travel photographers.

Is there any sort of viewfinder that I can use?

The previous version of this camera did not have an EVF option, but here is yet another area that Sigma has thought about. Sigma has produced a true feat of engineering with the Sigma EVF-11 Electronic Viewfinder. This is available on its own, but can be purchased with the camera in an attractive Sigma fp L Digital Camera with EVF kit.

What is this camera best used for?

Thanks to its size, the fp L really lends itself to travel photographers and videographers. Moreover, that huge sensor and advanced Crop Zoom mode allow those who travel the luxury of reducing the number of lenses to bring with you and therefore, lowers your kit bag weight.

Roughly how long will the battery last on a full charge?

On a full charger, you're looking at capturing approximately 240 images or up to approximately 60 minutes of video footage on a single charge.

Is this camera weatherproof?

The Sigma fp L offers a dust and splash-proof structure.

Is this camera good for vlogging?

Thanks to its size and weight, you could easily use this as a high-quality vlogging camera. To make it even easier, you could mount this to a gimbal for added stability whilst filming.
