Sigma FP2 arrives as a compact full-frame camera built for hybrid creators
Sigma continues to embrace its distinctive boxy camera design with the new Sigma FP2, a compact full-frame model aimed at photographers and video creators who want serious imaging power in a small, modular body.
The camera keeps the brand’s sharp-edged, minimalist look, but adds a practical flip-out touchscreen on the rear. The display features 2.1 million dots, making it useful for framing shots, adjusting settings, and shooting from awkward angles. For users who prefer a traditional eye-level shooting experience, Sigma also offers the optional EVF-21 OLED viewfinder. This detachable electronic viewfinder delivers a high-resolution 5.76-million-dot display, giving photographers a clearer and more immersive way to compose images.
On the top plate, the Sigma FP2 features a clean control layout with a shutter button, a control dial, and a dedicated slider for switching between photo and video modes. One notable omission is a hot shoe. This is intentional rather than accidental, as the camera relies entirely on an electronic shutter and is not designed for use with flash units.
At the heart of the Sigma FP2 is a partially stacked 24.5-megapixel full-frame sensor. It can capture DNG RAW photos at up to 6,016 x 4,012 pixels, offering plenty of detail for still photography. For video creators, the camera brings strong recording capabilities, including 6K open-gate video, making it appealing for flexible cropping, multiple aspect ratios, and high-quality post-production workflows.
Sigma has also designed the FP2 with serious video production in mind. Support for ProRes RAW HQ gives filmmakers more freedom in editing and color grading, while 32-bit float audio recording helps reduce the risk of clipped or unusable audio. The camera is rated for up to two hours of video recording on battery power, which should make it more practical for interviews, documentary work, and on-location shooting.
Compared with its predecessor, the Sigma FP2 brings several important upgrades. Autofocus is said to be significantly faster, addressing one of the key areas where many hybrid shooters expect improvement. The camera also includes a faster 10 Gbit/s USB-C port, allowing quicker file transfers and more efficient workflows. In addition to an SD card slot, Sigma has included 70 GB of internal storage, giving creators extra flexibility when shooting on the go.
The Sigma FP2 uses the Leica L-mount, giving users access to a broad range of compatible lenses. This makes the camera adaptable for everything from compact street photography setups to professional video rigs with cinema-style glass.
With its compact full-frame sensor, 6K video recording, optional OLED viewfinder, internal storage, and improved autofocus, the Sigma FP2 appears to be a strong option for creators looking for a small but capable camera system. It stays true to Sigma’s modular design philosophy while adding meaningful upgrades for modern photo and video workflows.
