It’s the nicest VF experience I have ever had. It’s large, makes the camera bigger but let me tell you… it’s so enjoyable to use. It seems many reviewers kind of wrote this camera off as there is almost no real coverage of it online for photo use! A few first looks in the cinema world but it seems many who are photographers may be missing out because as I found out, this is a stunning stills camera that also happens to be a very capable video machine.
SIGMA FP FLICKR MOVIE
It’s like looking through a VF to see a movie screen size EVF as it uses the LCD for the VF. The unique VF experience made this a very enjoyable night of music and photography. I have shot many cameras here and this one did very well. The Sigma fp and Voigtlander 75 1.5 shot at the Lost Leaf in Phoenix AZ. Yet I have two images on one night I want to print with the fp.
I rarely print my work or feel motivated to do so. The last time I printed an image I liked was with the Hasselblad X1D.
To me, this says it is a fantastic stills camera. Even with the negatives, the first night I had this camera I shot it and came away with two images I will be printing large for display. Don’t need it? Take it off end enjoy the smaller size. It’s modular so you add what you want and it does come with an attachment that adds a hot shoe so you can add a flash or mic. Has only an electronic shutter which could being up problems when shooting in areas with fluorescent lighting (flicker and banding). There is no viewfinder built-in, no grip built-in, and the sensor is not 47MP or 60MP but the standard 24MP. It is filled with negatives out of the gate though. The body is a super solid small square with basic controls, has a dedicated switch for stills and cinema use, and super enjoyable menus and navigation.
SIGMA FP FLICKR FULL
It’s a full frame CMOS sensor camera that is modular. So I rented a Sigma fp, viewfinder, grip and 45 2.8 lens last week. These choices are also not available in Cine mode as far as I can see, as in there are no options in the CINE menu for these lower ISO’s. So yes, you will still need ND filters if shooting wide open, handheld in bright light.
SIGMA FP FLICKR ISO
The camera uses trickery to sort of simulate ISO 6 and can not be done handheld. (BTW ISO 6-50 is not really a true ISO 6-50 as a tripod is needed to use the camera at these low ISO’s. Video Review – The Smallest full frame camera in the world! ISO 6 to 102k… Dedicated Stills and Cinema modes.brick like build, no overheating due to integrated heatsink, mic input, two hour video record time.12 Bit HD Video, USB-C battery charging, Up to 12 Bit DNG RAW 4K, all electronic shutter, Electronic Image Stabilization…sounds amazing actually! You can also easily adapt Leica M lenses to it, or even Canon. The fp uses the Leica L mount, so you can use any L mount lens from Leica, Panasonic or Sigma. As he described it and shared a few images I said “I NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS”. I was turned on to this little guy after a good friend ( who knows his stuff when it comes to cameras) told me that he bought one and fell in love with it almost instantly for photo use. I almost feel like it should have a red dot on it at times. But what about as a stills camera? Well, lock up your credit cards as this little camera has fantastic image quality and is super unique to shoot with. I mean…a few are, mostly in the cinema world as it seems to be marketed more at video/cinema use. It seems not many are covering this in any kind of detail. The new modular camera system from Sigma.
