What is the sensor size of the Sigma fp L?

The Sigma fp L is a digital camera that has a full frame sensor at its core. This imager measures 36.0mm in width and 24.0mm in height, so that the total imaging area of the sensor amounts to 864 mm².

The fp L provides an image resolution of 60.2 megapixels, based on 9 520 horizontal pixels and 6 328 vertical pixels.

Sensor size comparison with a film slide

The sensor diagonal measures 43.3mm, which gives rise to a format factor (or crop factor) of 1.0. Therefore, the Sigma fp L is a full-frame camera, as its sensor size corresponds to that of a traditional 35mm film slide or negative.

Sensor specs and performance

The table below compares the sensor specs of the Sigma fp L to those of several similar cameras. The reported DXO values are indicators of the sensor's imaging quality (higher is better), covering color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape), and high-ISO noise (DXO Sports). Larger sensor cameras tend to outperform cameras of the same generation that are equipped with a smaller imager. On the other hand, larger sensors are more expensive and require bigger and heavier lenses than smaller light receptors.
