Sigma’s new FP2 keeps full-frame camera small while adding a faster sensor and flip screen
Sigma announced the FP2, a compact full-frame mirrorless camera that follows its seven-year-old fp model. It gains a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked backside-illuminated sensor, an articulating display, and improved battery life, though it weighs about six grams more. The camera launches November 11 at $2,199 body-only, with $2,749 bundles that include an OLED viewfinder or a 50mm F2 lens.
Sigma’s FP2 follows a seven-year-old fp and keeps a small full-frame body, though added parts raise weight by about six grams. Its 24.5-megapixel partially stacked backside-illuminated sensor reads data faster than the older 24.6-megapixel design, enabling electronic-shutter stills at up to 20fps and autofocus that recognizes birds, people, and animals.
Video reaches 6K at 60fps, or 4K at 120fps with a cropped sensor area. The 3.2-inch touchscreen tilts and extends from the body to aid cooling; ports include full-size HDMI and two USB-C, one for power/accessories and one 10Gbps link for transfers or an external SSD. At $2,749, bundles add an EVF-21 OLED finder or a 50mm F2 lens.
The FP2 could appeal to photographers and videographers who prioritize portability, especially independent creators and small production teams. Its faster sensor, articulating screen, and longer battery life may make compact full-frame shooting more practical, while the $2,199 price and bundle options could influence upgrade decisions. Camera makers may face pressure to offer similar small-body, high-speed features, though the niche design and electronic-only shutter may limit broader adoption.
