Sigma fp2 launched: world's smallest fullframe, 24.5MP partially stacked sensor, 6K recording, $2,199

After 7 years since the first fp, Sigma has just officially launched the Sigma fp2, still keeping the pocket fullframe camera philosophy but almost completely redone from the inside out. The company calls the fp2 a "Small, Powerful, Adaptable" machine, and continues to claim this is the world's smallest fullframe body as of October 2026. Sigma fp2 is an L-mount fullframe mirrorless camera, both a photo camera and a true cine camcorder, just need to flip a switch on the top of the camera to change the mode. Main parameters:

The design is still as compact as the fp, adding a flip screen and full-size HDMI port

Overall, the fp2 is still a very "Sigma" square box, without a large grip, without an integrated viewfinder, allowing you to install accessories according to your needs. The most valuable new feature is the 3.2-inch LCD touch screen, 2.1 million dot resolution, which can now flip up 90 degrees and down 45 degrees, making low-angle or high-angle shooting much easier than the first generation.

According to Sigma, this flip screen design also helps dissipate heat better, so the fp2 can record videos longer than the fp, a point that early users complained about quite a lot. The connection port has also been upgraded with a full-size HDMI that is more durable than micro HDMI, along with 2 USB-C ports, including a 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 port used to quickly copy data or record ProRes RAW directly to an external SSD.

Flip the switch on the roof to STILL and the machine switches to an interface and process specifically for photography.

Switching to CINE makes fp2 a compact cine camera, the interface also changes.

24.5MP sensor partially stacked, continuous shooting at 20 frames per second

The heart of the fp2 is a 24.5MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor, partially stacked, with almost the same resolution as the 24.6MP of the fp but with much faster data reading speed. Thanks to the high read speed, rolling shutter phenomenon is significantly reduced, and this is very important because the fp2 still only uses an electronic shutter like the previous generation. The camera can continuously shoot about 20 frames per second, up to 200 frames per click, enough for moments that only last a split second. The autofocus system has also improved in terms of accuracy, speed and ability to focus in low light, and in addition to recognizing people and animals, it can now also identify birds.

Sigma still keeps its own Color button with 13 color modes based on its color science, this is what many people love about the fp series because after taking a photo, the colors have their own quality.

Capable of recording 6K OpenGate, ProRes RAW, dynamic range 14.1 stops

In CINE mode, fp2 can record 6K OpenGate at a maximum of 6K 60fps, while 4K 120fps will crop part of the sensor. Dynamic range reaches 14.1 stops when shooting 4K fullframe L-Log, with 7 stops of bright area headroom from ISO 1250 and above, making color correction much more comfortable in post-production.

The device supports Leica's ProRes RAW and L-Log, and can be edited directly on many grading software, so it's easy to incorporate into production teams' existing post-production processes. 32-bit float recording is also available, but you must attach the HU-21 hot shoe with the Panasonic DMW-XLR2 XLR converter or DMW-DMS1 mic to use it. The Director's Viewfinder feature simulates the frames of many cine cameras, now supporting ARRI ALEXA 35 and Sony VENICE 2, BURANO, with desqueeze mode for anamorphic tubes.

Separate accessory system for fp2

The screw holes on both sides and bottom are standardized to 1/4 inch, so you can attach many accessories from Sigma and third parties without the need for a transfer base.

Selling price and release date

Sigma fp2 will be available from November 11, 2026 for 2,199 USD for the camera body, while the kit with 50mm F2 DG tube or EVF-21 viewfinder costs 2,749 USD.

For me, the fp2 fixes most of the most unfortunate weaknesses of the fp such as fixed screen, micro HDMI, weak battery, while still maintaining its pocket size, this is a camera worth waiting for for those who can both shoot and record compactly. According to: Sigma
