This Tiny Full Frame Camera Is Wild

The Sigma fpL is the world's smallest full frame mirrorless camera, and to say it's unconventional would be an understatement. To test it out, I took this pocket rocket with me on a recent trip to the Canadian Rockies to find out weather it's the perfect travel photography tool, or just an expensive gimmick.

I had two Sigma Cameras. They are the most infuriating, slow and complicated to use cameras on the planet, but when you get a good shot and the camera actually wrote it to the card, the results were breathtaking. I sold them all but still have hope they come out with a modern foveon sensor camera one day.

Dynamic range is so over the top don’t even miss flash opportunities. Surprised you didn’t mention its limitations when it comes to Flash photography - it would have given you an opportunity to discuss its in-camera backlighting features. And ISO 6 - mind blowing option within the camera.

[@allandew]

Hi Tom… I have an Fpl ,I’ve added a flip screen, battery grip that allowed me shoot for 2 days with one battery, the grip is comfortable and takes the awkwardness out of holding the camera. I use a Peake design wrist strap only and walk around all day with no fatigue. Because of the flip screen I have not needed to add EVF I use my Leica M lenses and my Sigma contemporary lenses on it . I’ve shot thousands of images in all kinds of scenarios…No complaints. Of course all cameras have their idiosyncrasies one just has to get used to them. my leicas don’t get out as much as they used to😁

[@TomCalton]

Nice! I'd love to give this camera a try with those mods you've mentioned. Glad to hear you're enjoying your fpL 😄

[@forgottencameras]

Brought my regular fp on a trip to Hawaii for stills. The size and weight, when coupled with a reasonable lens, are just insane for such a diminutive camera with a FF sensor. I really hope they continue the line when global shutters are more accessible.

[@liveacousticsound]

Thanks for the review. I do love my fp/fpL. I don’t think the evf causes an imbalance, quite the contrary. The lens is off-center, so the evf actually balances it. Besides, it weighs next to nothing. Using the camera without an evf or monitor is a bit frustrating, mainly for getting good focus. Cheers!

[@angusmackay7281]

28-70 DG DN is the obvious companion for this camera. I got one last year for my S5iiX and it's a brilliant travel zoom.

[@meatbyproducts]

Still want an FP L. I shoot video on two Sigma FP bodies and one Panasonic S1H. When I use an fp as a stills camera I toss a small lens on and can put it in a jacket pocket or cargo pocket easy. Something I super love with my L mount caneras is a EF to L adapter that has a VND built in, and i adapt old lenses like the helios 44 and other soviet glass. The L is just so fun as a tiny power house, and batteries are cheap since it uses the same battery the Lumix G7 and similar cameras.

[@petedykstra]

I love mine. The images and video are amazing, and it's half the size of the Canon(s) I've dragged around on backpacking trips for landscape shots.

I had that FP-L but sold it and replaced by a Lumix S5IIX for these reasons : - EVF was a pain in the *** to attach on the body and cam would be bulky with this EVF - Battery drain was too fast - Bad autofocus - Menus were quite complicated and not user-friendly - No IBIS - No flip screen - No tropicalisation BUT... when it worked... wow images were stunning !

You need one of the smaller hand grips esp in the cold with gloves. You forgot to mention it was weather sealed perfect for your trip. I don't have the problem with the dial. But the biggest issue with the evf other than cost is a lack of eye sensor, and maybe not having the fw allow for record through it, but playback always via screen.

[@huwalban]

I've owned an fpL and used it exclusively for landscape photography since 2021. I think this is a VERY fair review of the camera - it has good points and it has not so good, but as you mentioned EVERY camera system out there also has points like this (they'll be different and personal to each of us). I'd really like to see Sigma to promote this camera more because it has so much potential. An excellent review Tom.

[@pauli9649]

I have the FP almost exclusivly for video. Paired with Leica 24-90 zoom with stabilization. RAW 4K to external SSD, Viewfinder or external 7" monitor. It's a dream setup for the higest quality video. But it't not point and shoot for sure. You have to be deliberate with it, then you get magic :)

[@chrishipop5]

I remember being on set for a campaign shoot the photographer had this camera with the directors viewfinder. The shooting experience looked so cool.

[@shadowcultur]

You can get a good LOG profile out of this camera in a very specific way. I think this camera is really best suited for video work given it's rig-ability and video output. You can attach an Atomos recorder via HDMI and record 4K, 12bit, Prores Raw. The Atomos is capable of real time converting the Raw output from the camera to Panasonic V-Log. Final Cut has a "Modify Prores Raw Settings" option and you can do a Raw to Log conversion with the click of a button... giving you the ability to grade in a standard Log workflow. I think if your interested in getting exceptional 24p, 4K video with Raw flexibility at an affordable price... get the OG fp second hand and rig it out with a battery and Atomos recorder. You won't be disappointed.

[@TacticalCactusMedia]

I was fully on the FP bandwagon for years with the original (non 61MP version). Haven’t found a camera even today that can do what the FP can at its size and price (4K CDNG RAW VIDEO is crazy). Ultimately sold it for my A7IV. Great video!

[@jessehavok4181]

What made you sell it? Is the a7IV that much better of a camera?

[@TacticalCactusMedia]

@@jessehavok4181 I feel like most cameras in today's day and age meet the spec requirements to be considered 'good', so choosing the right one is more about matching a specific cameras strengths to the type of work you do. My work is 80% video, 20% photo for clients, and I also do content creation. The FP's image quality destroys almost every other camera I've ever compared it to, but it lacks a lot of other features that become important to workflow, ease of use, and efficiency. I use an FX3 as my main video camera, and as much as I loved the FP, I realized it was overkill for what I needed it for. Too much time was being lost trying to color match two cameras with different color sciences so I swapped it out for the A7IV. Now I have two bodies in the same ecosystem, lens mount, color science, etc.

[@jessehavok4181]

​@@TacticalCactusMediaI find that really interesting, because you could get 4 or 5 of the FPs for the price of those two bodies. Then you wouldn't need to worry about matching colors. The fx3 must really be worth the money.

[@TacticalCactusMedia]

@@jessehavok4181 Using the FP as a cinema camera is where it truly shines. When you can be behind the camera and rig it out a bit, you can really take advantage of the incredible IQ, colors, and CDNG RAW. Once you enter any type of run and gun environment or a scenario where you need to film yourself, it quickly becomes incredibly frustrating to use. If you are a solo freelancer running multiple cameras at once, the lack of timecode, continuous AF, and poor internal preamps for audio presents problems. You can't use the FP for streaming, podcasts, or as a webcam because you cannot charge it over USB-C while the camera is on. The FX3 in my experience is the perfect blend of incredible image quality paired with ease of use features that makes it much more applicable to a wider range of filming scenarios, at least for the work that I do. If what I did involved being behind the camera 100% of the time, I'd still have the FP.

[@coasttocoastphoto]

I’ve had an fp for three years and, it’s just another camera in my kit. I was never in a “should I get this one or that one” situation. When the fp came out, I replaced a Leica Q with the fp. The fp has Japanese build quality, is diminutive in size, is in the L-Mount alliance, and uses the same battery as the Q. I can shoot a lot of lenses on this camera including Leica S, L and M; Voigtlander M; and Sigma L. I use it predominately for stills, and it excels quite nicely in that capacity. There is a “get to know me factor” with the fp, but isn’t that true of all cameras? That shot of the guy that you took with the rolling shutter never happens. If I want to take fast moving action shots, I reach for another camera. However, it is possible to get some action shots if you know what works and what doesn’t. Overall, it’s a great camera to add to your bag(s), and the photos that it produces are excellent.

[@notyouraveragegijoe]

I now have the sudden urge to stretch myself thin on a credit card to obtain this magic camera that I have never heard of before now! This looks like such an AMAZING filmmaking rig setup meets (borderline) medium format level photo camera! This thing seems RAD! If only the lens selection was a bit better... OR if you could shoot Sony Emount lenses with it.

[@oohms88]

This would complement the S5 II very well as a compact travel camera. If it had a mechanical shutter I would be all over it, but for now my travel setup is the sony a7c with the 20-70 f4. My gripe with the sony is the colours, I have yet to find the right JPG settings

[@fellowcitizen]

Yamaki has said that this fp L + i35 is his travel kit. It uses the same battery as the old Leica Q (and GX8 etc) and a similar sensor to the new one. I've always wanted this, but prioritised an all-rounder first, and now it's difficult to find at a reasonable price.

[@Cthames123]

I’d like to know if Sigma lenses would be better exploited or have additional benefits if used on Sigma cameras like the fpL, similar to the way native Sony lenses are better utilized on Sony bodies, (i.e faster/more accurate autofocus, faster burst shooting (no 15fps limit), focus breathing compensation (not offered for 3rd party lenses).

The FP also has El ZONE and False color for setting exposure. Shooting raw video I set the color mode to off. Shooting DNG RAW you don't need LOG. The S5IIX has everything missing from the FP. There is a S5IIX update (4-22) that makes the IBIS and auto focus even better. Absolutely amazing now.

I got one 2 months ago for forthcoming trip, as 1) the size; 2) the iso 6; and 3) the focus bracket functions would be great for travel and landscape. Additionally, I can use my L and M mount lenses. Have used it a couple of times and have bought a collapsable LCD viewer instead of the EVF which is very good. Main dislike is the dreadful rolling shutter rules out most street/action use, as it only has electronic shutter. So, it is still a toss up as to whether I bring it instead of my SL2-S……..god I love that baby despite the bigger size, lack of iso 6 and focus bracketing and a smaller sensor…...What to do!? Thanks for the review Tom.

[@MartyGreenwell]

I like Sigma cameras and their quirks (I have DPs, Quattros and the SD), but I'd agree, in this case I don't know why you'd buy one of these over the A7RIV.

[@Cthames123]

I heard a similar thought in the video, (11:03), but thats not a cost friendly proposition for many, as Sony (E/FE mount) and Sigma (L-mount) are two different lens mount systems. If I already have L mount lenses I’m suppose to ditch all that for a Sony where I’d have to rebuy all these lenses? Thats expensive. Versus those already on L-mount can get more milage out of their existing lens investment by using them on the Sigma as well.

[@CaleMcCollough]

The #1 reason I'm looking at the Sigma FP L is to use it with that Sirui Saturn 35mm 1.6x anamorphic lens, when when center cropped on the FP/FP L turns into 87mm. This allows you to use one lens to film almost everything because the downside of this lens turns into a home run. Sure the Saturn is clinically sharp and doesn't have chromatic aberrations that move your eye to the center like the Blazar Remus, but it's too hard to add VFX with those kinds of lenses so the Saturn is actually better for virtual production.

But also the flexibility - rig it up with power dummy battery gimbal cinema lense focus pull go as big as you want it can handle all of it (CinemaDNG 12-Bit 4K DCI 2-hour non stop recording) or slap a pancake or small DC DN zoom lense on it and a few spare batteries for travel everyday carry and call it a day. The price for completely fully made and assembled in Japan is amazing value. For the third iteration IBIS will be at the top of the wish list and faster readout or no compromises global shutter (but cmon lets be real), flippy screen not needed prefer the solid feel of the current screen. From my own personal use the biggest drawbacks are IBIS and readout speed (banding in artificial light) both can be worked around but still will be nice to have on future iteration without sacrificing the size and weight.

[@renessda5519]

I really wanted to buy it but I could not accept lack of both features: EVF and tilt LCD. This big attachable EVF only has frightened me. Sigma should rather put on the top hot-shue for attaching external EVF. I would prefer mk2 to have 45mp sensor with native 50iso, small grip, IBIS would be great, of course improved AF as well. That one I would buy for sure.

@@TomCalton thanks bud I didn't even see that video thanks! Ha e you thought of doing a video where you compare the likes of the nex 6 and the nikon d3100 that's would be pretty cool video for us budget photography

Shutterless camera's are antiquated. I sold it !

How in the world do you hold the thing?

Man you're killing me with that sensor dust.

Why would you remove the EVF if you can just remove the battery and charge it externally ?

[@TomCalton]

It doesn't come with a charger. You only get a USB-C cable in the box. This was a loan camera, but if I owned it myself then I would do as you suggested and get an external charger for it.

[@General_Mills_]

@@TomCalton I would too for sure. When listening to the video I doubted for a second and thought it was a non-removable internal battery. That would have been the worst

[@ChrisWhittenMusic]

@@TomCalton You can use a cheap Panasonic charger.

[@JePeVePe]

I think I only would use it for video... for photo, don't see the extra value over the 'standard' Canon / Nikon / Sony camera's...

[@TerenceKearns]

Lenses have a functional resolution. If you crop in too much you'll just get "moosh". Of course, how bad the moosh is depends on the lens. So really, "cropping in" on a lens that's not designed for it, shouldn't even be considered in all practicality. Besides, may as well crop in post if you're gonna moosh it up anyway.

Glad you appreciated that moment 😜

You forgot to mention it is only "Made in Japan" camera right now, no Japanese camera company now build or manufacture in Japan. Only sigma even nikon, canon, Fujifilm, sony and Panasonic are all being assemble overseas and have factory. But sigma only one company both the camera and lenses are made in japan 😁👍📸

[@user-oe5jl2br6u]

So the Japanese ship their manufacturing base elsewhere and then sell you those products. Blame the Japanese or the country they choose to have their manufacturing base? Btw, it’s the Japanese management that they implement in those overseas bases. So Made in Thailand, Made in Vietnam are what the Japanese have decided…

[@junichinomura4810]

@@user-oe5jl2br6ubut still the consistency of the finished products are different from japan and other countries, even you compare your own country to made in China products. I know what I mean by that.

[@r09d98]

Is the footage in "Take Me To the Mountains" from the fpL? It's not a great selling point: shaky, very visible rolling shutter, and intermittent softness (the ice climbing shot).

[@TomCalton]

No, it's all phone footage. I didn't think I needed to note that in the video as I felt it was obvious given the results, but I will do it in future. Sorry for any confusion.

[@rishavdatta2721]

I am getting OCD from the mark on the sensor😢

[@sauberc92]

Instructions unclear, I shat myself

[@Ansonandco]

hahahaha we can be pretty fanatical about this camera 😂

Just so long as you guys don't band together and kidnap my family members again, we're all good. 🤣😜

What is the lens mount?

[@stevejones01]

Lica. Works great with Panasonic lenses.

[@maulizar1019]

what lenses you use sir

[@TomCalton]

I only used the Sigma 35mm f/2 DG DN within this review.

[@muminhn1002]

Look there is a camera attached to this sensor.
