Sigma Corporation has announced that their full-frame mirrorless digital camera, the Sigma fp, will begin shipping on October 25, 2019. The Sigma fp will retail for $1,899 for the camera body alone and $2,199 when you add the Sigma 45mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens. Sigma claims the fp is the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless digital camera.
This diminutive, full-frame mirrorless weighs in at only 370g (body) and can be held in your palm with 112.6mm × 69.9mm × 45.3mm dimensions. It is equipped with a 24.6 megapixel Bayer full-frame sensor. Purpose-built with durability in mind, its has a dust and splash-proof body and the absence of a mechanical shutter removes the potential for noise and shutter shock while increasing reliability.
12-bit CinemaDNG
The Sigma fp is capable of video production, supporting 12-bit CinemaDNG external recording for RAW video data and 4K UHD/24fps recording. Alternating between still and cine shooting modes is possible with a simple flip of a switch. Each mode comes with a specially designed operation system and displays.
Sigma’s fp also supports ALL-I recording for editing H.264 compressed videos. For video output, it uses USB3.1 (GEN1), which allows data transmission to an external recording unit. As it also supports cinema camera-like user interfaces, the SIGMA fp is a camera that can be taken straight to video production settings.
Native L-Mount
The Sigma fp uses the L-mount, characterized by a short flange focal length, large diameter, and durability. In addition to the choices of Sigma lenses, other manufacturers’ lenses can be used through the L-Mount Alliance with Leica Camera AG and Panasonic Corporation. With the Sigma Mount Converter MC-21, Sigma SA mount and Sigma Canon EF mount lenses can also be used.
