![]() I show examples in the video at the top of this page. While there is no IBIS here, the Electronic Image Stabilization inside works better than the IBIS inside of Sony bodies. It is actually more useful than most EVF’s due to the fact that it articulates. Sure, it is an add on, not built in, but it leaves the users of the original fp with an accessory that they can add to their cameras as well. It is an articulating EVF which makes it super useful in use. So the new fpL has the new impressive sensor (that also is good at high ISO as shown in the video) at 61 MP, it has added phase detect AF and the all new EVF-11 is a fantastic addition to the camera. In fact, every image here and in the video above are STRAIGHT FROM CAMERA JPEGS. It has gorgeous color performance, even some of the best in camera JPGS I have ever seen. It’s hefty, built well, has simple controls and it is full frame. IMO, it is a much better camera than the Leica CL itself, and feels more like a real old school Leica CL in the hand and in use. Of course it is still a fantastic camera to shoot Leica M mount lenses on. While not as sticky as a Sony, it’s very good in the L mount category of cameras. ![]() The original fp only has contrast detect so the new fpL is an improvement over the original when it comes to continuous AF for video for sure. The fpL now includes Phase Detect AF along with contract detect. As the release date grew near, Sigma e-mailed me firmware Version 1.0 and it did seem to improve the Af performance of the camera, especially with continuous video AF (I test it in the video). I started to test the camera with pre-production firmware as Sigma was still working on the continuous AF. This is a serious camera for cinema or photo users, and I asked myself as I shot with it…”is this the ultimate hybrid camera”? It’s also the big record button that makes it seem so simple and basic, yet what is inside is pretty powerful. Sure, it’s the body with its chunky on and off switch and dedicated cine/still switch right up top. The fpL is unlike most other cameras as it has style, character and something unique about it. A grip, the new EVF-11, or the older larger viewfinder, which is still an amazing option if you do not mind the size. It’s still the same small brick like body that allows you to add whatever you like. The fpL keeps the same body as the OG fp and this is good as this means all accessories will be interchangeable. ![]() You can keep it simple, small and basic and get phenomenal results or you can rig it out as a full cinema workhorse. Still the smallest full frame camera in the world, this camera is all about making it yours. ALL images shot as straight OOC JPEGS! I talk about why in the video above. Also, all were shot with the Sigma 35 f/2 at f/2. Another choice that brings with it a new 61 MP backside illuminated sensor, and this means the fpL is made just as much for still shooters as cinema shooters.Ĭlick images for larger versions. In fact, the fpL is not a replacement for the fp, but an addition. This add on EVF will work with the original fp camera and the fpL. ![]() Sigma has announced this new fpL along with the new EVF-11 accessory. If you missed my original fp review you should read that HERE as 85% of what I say there applies to the new fpL. I share images, video, thoughts and tests. This page will only talk about the changes made to the fp, so it will be brief. This fpL does not replace the fp, rather it brings in another option…and this time it packs a punch as a serous hybrid camera. The words on this page will just talk about the features of the “L” version over the still available fp. Just as I enjoyed the original fp, this one has also brought me a few smiles and a new experience. I have been lucky enough to have one of these new cameras in hand for the last 2 weeks and have truly enjoyed my time with it. Hello again everyone! Today I want to share some thoughts on the new Sigma fpL camera announced by Sigma just today, March 25th 2021.
