Bombshell Announcement: The Sigma fp Full Frame Camera

Sigma has announced a new compact, full frame, interchangeable lens camera: the fp! The fp, or fortissimo/pianissimo (Italian for very big and very small), is the smallest full-frame interchangeable lens camera ever, and it comes to us from Sigma, an unlikely source if you asked a majority of the camera industry. It may reframe your perspective about what the "L-Mount Alliance" among Panasonic, Leica and Sigma actually means. The Sigma fp uses a full-frame, 24.6-megapixel, backside-illuminated Bayer sensor, which is in the same vein as what we've seen inside both the Sony A7 III and the Panasonic S1, for example. Though not exactly the same resolution, it's likely a Sony sensor made for Sigma based on the specifications from the IMX410C1K CMOS sensor offered by Sony's sensor division. That sensor is capable of capturing 4K UHD (there are no cinema 4K options offered on the fp) in both CinemaDNG RAW and MOV (ALL-I) to the single SD card slot or external recorder. It will capture CinemaDNG RAW in 8bit, 10bit or 12bit at 23.98p. It can also capture 1080p Full HD footage up to 119.88p in 4:2:2 8bit.
