The Sigma FP2 Mirrorless Camera with 50mm f/2 DG Contemporary Lens combines powerful full-frame imaging capabilities with a versatile standard prime lens, delivering a compact and flexible solution for photographers, filmmakers, and hybrid content creators. Featuring a 24MP full-frame sensor and Sigma's distinctive modular camera design, this kit offers an adaptable shooting experience with the ability to transition seamlessly between high-quality still photography and cinematic video production.
At the heart of the camera is a 24MP full-frame sensor, providing detailed image capture and the creative flexibility needed for a wide range of photographic and filmmaking applications. Its compact, modular construction allows creators to build a camera configuration that suits their individual workflow, whether shooting handheld, working with additional accessories, or assembling a more comprehensive video production setup.
Paired with the camera is the Sigma 50mm f/2 DG Contemporary Lens, a versatile standard prime that delivers a natural perspective well suited for portraits, everyday photography, documentary work, and cinematic storytelling. The f/2 maximum aperture provides flexibility in available-light conditions while allowing photographers and filmmakers to achieve pleasing subject separation and controlled depth of field.
Designed for creators who regularly switch between photography and filmmaking, the Sigma FP2 offers a streamlined hybrid shooting experience. The included 50mm lens provides a practical focal length for capturing expressive portraits, detailed compositions, and natural-looking video footage, making this kit a versatile starting point for a variety of creative projects.
Combining a 24MP full-frame mirrorless camera, compact modular design, and the Sigma 50mm f/2 DG Contemporary Lens, the Sigma FP2 Mirrorless Camera Kit delivers a portable and adaptable imaging solution for creators seeking professional still and video capabilities in one convenient package.
Advanced Autofocus and Sensor System
At the heart of the FP2 is a new 24.5 megapixel partially stacked sensor paired with a high-performance ASIC image-processing system that is 15% faster than the Sigma BF in addition to improved low-light performance with a limit of -10EV. This combination is designed to increase autofocus accuracy and speed, addressing an area where a camera needs consistent performance.
The FP2 introduces enhanced bird detection autofocus powered by a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network). This is an interesting addition for wildlife photographers and anyone who regularly photographs birds. Subject detection aids the camera in identifying birds and maintains focus effectively, reducing the need to rely entirely on manual focus-point placement.
Recording Flexibility and Time-Lapse
ProRes RAW HQ and additional compressed recording formats provide image flexibility and balances convenience for post-production which matters when a project moves from a quick turnaround to a more improved experience. Video output has been added to the existing interval timer with specifications of 4K/2K selectable (H.265, 16:9 only), 24,25,29,29.97, 48, 50, 59.94fps.
6K OpenGate Support
The FP2 supports 6K OpenGate recording for horizontal and vertical video and both are covered from a single shoot by cropping in post.
Cinematic Color Modes
The FP2 introduces three new color modes, Rich, Calm, and 709 Look, that blend stylized rendering with versatility making it easier to achieve the right look for any scene and offer distinct visual character.
Tilting LCD Screen and Heat Dissipation
The incorporation of the tilting TFT color LCD screen with approximately 2.1M dots proves to be a useful addition for monitoring low-angle tracking shots, overhead compositions, and shooting in cramped locations. The screen tilts upward by as much as 90 degrees and downward by up to 45 degrees. Another practical detail worth noting is the screen structure and heat dissipation during recording which contributes to the camera's broader approach to balancing the compact construction with demanding recording tasks.
Prolonged Battery Life
Rated at approximately 370 shots per charge under CIPA testing standards, the FP2's battery life has increased around 32%, compared with approximately 280 shots for the original FP. Battery use will vary based on performance, even so, the higher CIPA rating is a welcome improvement for travel, street, event, and wildlife photographers and videographers.
High Speed Internal Memory
Faster than memory used in previous systems, the FP2 offers approximately 70GB of internal recording capacity, providing a built-in storage option for capturing content without relying exclusively on removable media.
For filmmakers and photographers, internal storage simplifies a lightweight setup and offers additional flexibility when managing files in the field or on set and is especially appealing to creators who prefer to travel light.
Connected Workflow: Wifi and Bluetooth Capabilities
The FP2 is equipped with WiFi and Bluetooth hardware and is intended to work with a newly developed application for iOS and Android.
For creators who want to move images to a mobile device, manage a more connected workflow, or integrate their shooting routine, this is a welcomed addition.
