FP L

I loved my fp-l in every way except AF. Switched to a S9 which has great AF. I miss the absolute minimalism of the sigma. If I had unlimited funds I’d keep one for landscape work but if I added a second camera it’s probably be the s1rii for its middle resolution but also a shutter and EVF.

The Sigma FP and FP L are both smaller than the S9, but they have some quirks. No IBIS is a big one. Bad autofocus is another. I love my FP L, but it’s a very “special” little camera. Everyone saying there are no other options, need to google.

the a7cr is the direct higher end version of the a7cii, buy for most people the sensor is probably overkill and the rest is the same. so for you a7cii might just be the best option. the canon r8 is cheaper, slightly lighter and arguably more ergonomic, they are pretty similar but the a7cii has ibis

Something else that's anomalous about the FP sensor is it's extremely low read noise at high gain settings. Better than the S1ii etc, so technically it's still the best low light camera for stills, unless the testing methodology was incorrect somehow. This might have something to do with that PDAF a

I've been in your position, but in my case, using a Panasonic 70-300mm. And in my experience, zooming in 2x is reliable and doable, with a very important caveat. The lens should have built in Optical Stabilisation. I've tried it with non OS lenses and it's a sorry mess. The camera has only got an el

Hi Former FP & FP L owner here. I've also owned a xt 3. I really like the FP & the FP L. It is very compact and very dense. It is one of the smallest full frame bodies I've come across and when paired with the sigma I series lenses makes for a very portable unit. If you like megapixels the FP L with

V1 is amazing if you like wide angles. I love them so it’s a perfect fit for me. I’ve carried a nex5 with 16mm, x70, nex5 win 10-18 then 10-20, xm5 with 10-18 sigma and the s9 with the 18-40 all skiing. And I had the sigma fp-L which I loved but AF forced me to the S9. I’ve also skied with full blow

Be prepared for bad AF. Even the go-L which has better AF is still bad. E shutter has quirks and sigmas version has banding in weird lighting. Both sigma and Panasonic have movement issues when things get diagonal. And no hot shoe/flash. I tried both the fp-L and S9 to replace an xm5/xe4. I loved th

you're wrong on the 16mm XT2 vs 24mm S9 combo. The S9 is smaller and lighter. https://camerasize.com/compact/#922.951,679.571,ha,b yes that uses the 35mm which is slightly lighter and has it's hood on. I had this combo here in my hands before selling my fuji (XE4). Comparing lenses, I'm not using th

The 180 mount is ideal if I go with a camera with a grip so I’m keeping it around if I go with an a7cii I don’t have the sigma FP yet (only a 3D printed model). From my test with the lumix s9, it takes too long for the sensor to start the exposure at all the shutter speeds to expose properly. Hence
