I own two of them and I love them. I have filmed in the US, Ukraine, and Central America with them. I had one stolen and ordered a replacement the next day. I shoot tons of photos with the tiny body and have a blast, but the video is great. I use one as my web cam and shoot a pair when I am out and about. The size is so good and easy to toss on a gimble is always a win as well. I also shoot a ton on old vintage glass with old Soviet lenses for a look you can't get with new glass.

To answer you both, I would love to say the FP is the go to, but if you are new I would maybe lean towards a BMPCC 4K. its a lot cheaper and it is VERY user friendly. I think ultimately I would lean towards the FP, but maybe not until you are familiar with RAW. If you are ok with a steeper learning curve, then I would go with the FP simply because its a better built camera and it is a full frame system, which is where the film industry is going more and more.

You’re videos have really helped with some decision making around the Sigma. I was lucky enough to use Sigma-Select to trial the FP for a long weekend just for photography, I was impressed and more than happy with the size. My last decision to make is between the FP and the FP L, the price difference is still huge, and I can’t see why the FP L would be better for video work overall, it definitely is for photography with that increase in MP, but video? Is it worth the extra chunk of change.

Hi, I'm considering sigma FP as my travel camera (I will have a MacBook on me to reduce the filesize with slimraw), I Have some questions regarding the camera before I will pull the trigger. Maybe you will be able to answer these: - When recording cdng raw - is your monitoring with an internal screen and OLED EVF accurate representation of the recorded image? It would be nice to have a preview that is somewhat similar to the final result (I understand that with raw you can make wonders in Resolve - I shoot mostly raw with Komodo and Amira) I found comments online that monitoring is less than ideal and I want to keep this camera as minimal as possible. Camera/EVF/SSD - I wonder if I use a canon 35mm f2 IS lens with MC21 will the IS work? I find this lens IS very good for video, and because of the size of the FP, it would help a lot with micro shakes. - Can I assign a button to quickly jump between crop mode and full-frame? I would like to have only one lens on me and 35 and 50 (after the APS-C crop) are all I need for my travels. - Is the cropped image quality worse and if so how much? - How good is the internal cndg fullHD raw? Moire, antialiasing etc. I wonder if I could manage with SD cards only for my personal stuff. - Is there a way to assign the button to quickly change 25,50,100 frames? - Is there a way to assign the button to quickly change WB presets? - How is the audio quality (internal preamps). I will use an external mic. Rode NTG video mic. - What kind of SSD do you use. I found a guy who make a mode that the SSD workflow is cableless. Thanks in advance.

Whew this is a doozy of a comment, gotta do some stretches for this one 😂 JK im happy to help. - the rear display and EVF are among the best ive used, the issue you will run into is if you record in RAW it will not really take on any of the color profiles you shoot in, and that is what can mess with people. I tend to grade in a teal and orange type approach and something I have been using to "monitor" my final image is using the "forest green" profile while filming. the RAW won't bake in those colors, but it is decently close to my final grade. that said I would recommmend to go through the built in color modes, and find one that gets you close to your final grade. and whats nice is you can change the curves, saturation, sharpness and contrast in camera for these modes as well. - I have never used that specific lens on the fp, I have not really messed with the MC21 too much, but from what I know about it, yes it SHOULD transmit IS. if it doesn't im sure there are adapters that will. - this is going to be my answer for a couple of things, but there is not a custom button for crop mode, but you will get used to using the quick select menu, and you can put crop mode on that menu. super easy to access. you really want to make that quick select menu as custom as you can to how you shoot to make things go faster. check out my settings video for the fp for further reference to the menu. - some will argue crop mode is better than FF. it is the 1:1 readout for the fp. - the internal FHD is pretty decent. I use it all the time, but yes you will want to watch out for aliasing/moire. sometimes I would rather shoot in 8bit 4k CDNG just to avoid it, this is doable with a fast v90 SD card. just exposure correctly in camera. - no custom button for frame rates, but easily able to add it to the quick select menu. - there is an option to set a custom WB with custom buttons, but it does not toggle through the traditional presets. BUT again, that can be added to the quick select menu. - internal audio is probably good enough for hobby work, but if you want production quality I would look externally. - I use a samsung t5, ive seen the dark labs SSD options, but I have not messed with them yet. but possible good solution if you want to stay smaller. HOPE THAT HELPS!

Ok, so a weird thing I love about shooting with this onto ssd is how I can just plug the usb-c cable into my M1 iPad Air and preview or make quick edits with my raw footage via LumaFusion without importing to internal storage or converting or anything. Apply a bit of exposure correction, etc on there and all this without so much as a hiccup in playback. I’m approaching the LumaFusion developers to see if they can improve the experience a bit to make it convenient to edit multiple clips in the timeline.

I owned the Fp back when it was first released. It had quite a few shortcomings back then. Firmware addressed much of this. The new EVF also added some utility. Can the Fp capture video in OpenGate mode (4:3 and 3:2) for anamorphic use? I’ve heard some talk around recording in the director’s viewfinder mode. But was unsure if this is merely a desqueeze of the image or if the camera can actually utilize the full sensor height? As for what I’d like to see: I wish it had an option for a hand grip that added an SSD slot. That would be a gamechanger. I hated mounting an SSD to the camera, as it meant I needed a cage… and I had to have a usb cable plugged into the side of the camera. I always worried that I would bump the cable a break the port. Sigma should have provided a more elegant solution. What was missing from this “module” camera was the modules. That’s Sigma missing out on an opportunity to sell accessories.
