Sigma fp L Mirrorless Camera: 61MP sensor, hybrid AF, $2,499
Here is what you need to know about Sigma fp L mirrorless camera with L-mount. The Sigma fp L features a brand new 60.2MP image sensor. This new model adds a 61 Megapixel full-frame sensor (almost certainly based on the sensor used in the Sony a7R IV), a hybrid autofocus system, true 24p video capture and support for USB Power Delivery.
The camera looks pretty much the same as the original Sigma fp. The addition of a new letter on a product name often signifies a minor upgrade or feature swap, as opposed to a completely new model. However we do know that the Sigma fp L can capture UHD 4K 30p video internally and can output 12-bit Cinema DNG Raw to an external SSD.
$200 off on Sigma fp body: $1,699 at Amazon, B&H, Adorama.

Otherwise, little has changed compared to the original fp. The Sigma fp L is the smallest camera in its class at 113 x 70 x 45mm (4.4 x 2.8 x 1.8″) and weighs just 427g (13.2oz) with battery and memory card installed. It’s also sealed against dust and moisture. Due to its size, the fp L only has an electronic shutter, which results in a 1/15 sec flash sync speed and the possibility of rolling shutter.
