Sigma Announces FP2 Full-Frame Camera With 70GB Internal Storage
The FP2 keeps the original fp's pocketable body but moves the series toward professional cinema work by adding internal storage, 6K open gate recording and a partly stacked sensor, the features small-body shooters previously had to source elsewhere.

Sigma announced the FP2, a full-frame mirrorless camera, at a press event at its Kawasaki headquarters. It ships November 11, with preorders opening October 29 at 10:00 on Sigma's official online store. The body is priced at 346,500 yen, or 451,000 yen with a 50mm F2 DG lens. It uses a 24.5-megapixel partly stacked CMOS sensor, records 6K open gate, and adds 70GB of internal storage and a tilting rear screen.
The sensor is a 35.9 x 23.9mm partly stacked CMOS unit with about 24.5 effective megapixels. Sigma says the faster readout cuts rolling shutter distortion, and the body supports bursts up to about 20 frames per second with a maximum of 200 frames in one run.
The autofocus switches to hybrid phase-detection and contrast-detection, and subject detection now covers birds alongside people and dogs and cats. The rear screen is a 3.15-inch tilting panel that moves 90 degrees up and 45 degrees down. The body measures about 112.8 x 69.9 x 41.8mm and weighs about 460g with battery and SD card.
