Sigma Reboots and Uppercases the fp

Sigma today introduced the FP2, a complete redo of their earlier camera-in-a-small-box. The box is similar, losing just a bit of depth and only .2 ounces (6g) heavier. The fp name of the earlier model is now an uppercase FP. Out back, the Rear LCD now tilts. But it’s inside where the real changes lie. The FP2 uses the 24mp partially-stacked image sensor pioneered by the Nikon Z6III (which Panasonic also now uses). This opens up 6K open gate at up to 60P, as well as Apple ProRes RAW recording. Curiously, Sigma is using Leica’s L-Log. 70GB of internal storage is augmented by a UHS-II SD slot, and audio can now be 32-bit float with an optional accessory. One big change is that the FP2 uses phase detect autofocus, including subject tracking. This may be the biggest real change for those wanting a small L-mount box camera, as autofocus was the thing that really held the original fp back as far as I was concerned. A new, larger capacity battery plus new viewfinder and other accessories…
