Sigma has announced the smallest full-frame camera yet. The Sigma fp measures 113x70x45mm, weighs 370 grams and is aimed at filmmakers. The rectangular body has a 3.2-inch touchscreen on the back and an L-mount on the front.
The mirrorless camera has a 24.6-megapixel sensor, a BSI CMOS with a Bayer filter. This camera has a regular sensor, not a multi-layer Foveon sensor, which Sigma is known for, with a sensitivity of ISO 100 to 25,600, expandable to equivalents of ISO 6 and 102,400.
The shutter is electronic and there is contrast-detection autofocus. You can shoot at a maximum speed of 18 fps. However, this maximum speed only works for one second, after which the speed drops following 12 shots.
The camera is particularly suitable for filmmakers because its dimensions are so small that it can be placed in a small space and, for example, operated remotely. The little camera has a 4K video function and records video files in DNG format with a colour depth of 12-bit.
The maximum frame rate is 24 fps at 4K resolution, while at 1080p this increases to a maximum of 120 fps. The sensor is cooled with a heatsink during long video recordings.
The body is sealed against dust and moisture, and the camera has an HDMI connection, microphone input and USB 3.1 port. There is also an input for a remote control.
Various accessories will be released to make the camera easier to handle, such as grips and an attachment for using the LCD as a kind of viewfinder. The Sigma fp is due to come onto the market in the autumn, but the price is not yet known.
