Sigma FP2 Debuts with 6K Video and Built-In 70GB Storage

More power inside an even smaller frame

Sigma has never followed conventional mirrorless playbook rules, and the Sigma FP2 doubles down on that modular philosophy. According to early testing details from TechRadar, the new camera trims down the silhouette of the original FP while cramming in significantly more capable internals.

At the heart of the FP2 sits a partially stacked 24.5-megapixel full-frame sensor. It enables 6K open gate capture using Sigma's L-Log profile, as well as RAW video output when connected to an external SSD. Autofocus gets a notable lift through a hybrid phase-detection setup that tracks a broader range of subjects with a 15% claimed improvement in speed and precision.

Rather than forcing shooters to rely purely on memory cards from the jump, Sigma built 70GB of storage directly into the camera body. That gives creators a built-in safety net on set or a way to strip the rig down to the bare essentials for ultra-light run-and-gun street shooting. It is a welcome hardware shift in an era where modern imaging gear is constantly renegotiating size constraints, much like how Amazon Blink adds 4K video and a 7,000-foot wireless range by rethinking everyday enclosure designs.

Sigma FP2: key specifications and features

The trade-offs of going tiny

Keeping the footprint this small means Sigma had to leave standard mirrorless staples on the cutting room floor. The FP2 lacks in-body image stabilization (IBIS), putting it at a handheld disadvantage against rivals like the Lumix S9 or full-sized hybrid bodies.

There is also no integrated electronic viewfinder or built-in handgrip. Sigma expects shooters to treat the FP2 as a modular core. You can mount a crisp 5.76-million-dot tilting EVF accessory to the side, but that modularity comes with a sting: original FP accessories are not backward compatible with the FP2, and vice versa.

Availability and pricing

Sigma has not yet announced formal retail pricing or shipping dates for international markets across North America and Europe. While the base body is framed as competitively priced against compact full-frame rivals, buyers should factor in the cost of essential add-ons, particularly the external EVF and bolt-on grips.

By pairing an upgraded sensor and built-in storage with its modular ethos, the FP2 cements Sigma's reputation for engineering daring hardware that prioritizes pocketable utility over broad mainstream appeal.
