historically the biggest reason to have them have been that they are just small cameras with small lenses while still producing the quality as good as other 35mm cameras. its still partly true to this day. the only competing cameras with rangefinders are either cameras without an evf and often lacki

The Sigma FP is not necessarily an easy camera to use. Most folks don’t have the patience to deal with the workflow and settings to maximize the dynamic range it has. Timur Civan talks about this on this blog post, where he’s able to get almost 15 stops out of it. That being said, this camera isn’t

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

The absolute smallest would be the Sigma fp and an adapter. Everything would be manual though, and it's ridiculously unergonomic for this kind of use.

I recommend YouTube. I spent a lot of time interested in Sigmas, FP, FPl, the new one. It seems to me almost entirely everyone I watch that even start out loving it moves on and has a lot of complaints.

Not a lumix body but the Sigma FP and Sigma FPL are l-mount and smaller. They have a lot of drawbacks but yeah just putting it on your radar if you didn’t already know about them!

I'm so I have both of these cameras, and I love and prefer my xt3 for photos, it actually does decent video if you're shooting at 400mps but the sigma fp is definitely better for video. There are a lot of downsides to the sigma fp if im being very honest. File sizes are massive, as it shoots cdng ra

Ahh ok good I'm not going crazy. As I said above, I thought it looked weird so I googled and found this, written by Bill Claff.(The above chart is actually from his website: he's smart, and we've had a lot of discussions over the years): https://www.dpreview.com/forums/threads/sigma-fp-sensor-measur

Hi, yes I did. When the project started on Kickstarter, I reserved it immediately with the purpose of using it on the Sigma FP, and it took more than 6 months to arrive. It looked exactly like what I was looking for. Even knowing that the speed was 1050 MB/s, after seeing users on YouTube successful

I think that's largely correct, however, do note that unlike the SL, the fp and fp L only have an electronic shutter. I've found that the fp L has especially persistent banding artifacts, even when shooting at a shutter speed in sync with power frequency. fp is not as bad. YMMV Also related to the e
