Sigma has announced the FP2, a new full-frame mirrorless camera that builds on the original fp series with a partially stacked 24.5-megapixel sensor, improved autofocus and 6K video recording. Priced from £1,899 in the UK, the L-Mount camera retains the compact, modular design of its predecessors while introducing several significant upgrades for photographers and filmmakers. It will go on sale on 11 November 2026.
The FP2 measures just 112.8 × 69.9 × 41.8mm and weighs approximately 376g without its battery or memory card. Its partially stacked CMOS sensor is designed to provide faster readout speeds, reducing rolling shutter distortion and supporting continuous shooting at up to 20fps. At that speed, the camera can capture up to 200 JPEG images or 180 DNG RAW files in a burst. Autofocus combines phase and contrast detection, with subject recognition for people, dogs, cats and birds. A new 3.15-inch tilting touchscreen replaces the fixed-screen arrangement of the original fp, offering 90 degrees of upward movement and 45 degrees downward.
For video, the FP2 retains Sigma’s dedicated STILL/CINE switch, providing separate interfaces for photography and filmmaking. It supports 6K OpenGate recording, which uses the full sensor area and gives filmmakers greater flexibility when cropping footage for different aspect ratios. ProRes RAW recording and Leica’s L-Log profile are also supported, with Sigma claiming up to 14.1 stops of dynamic range under specified recording conditions. The camera includes a Director’s Viewfinder function for previewing the framing of cinema cameras, including the ARRI ALEXA 35 and Sony VENICE 2.
Despite its small dimensions, the FP2 offers approximately 70GB of internal storage alongside an SD card slot and support for external SSD recording. Sigma quotes a battery life of around 370 photographs or 130 minutes of video, approximately 30% longer than the original fp. A new optional EVF-21 electronic viewfinder provides a 5.76-million-dot OLED display that can tilt upwards by 90 degrees, while additional accessories allow the camera to be configured for different shooting requirements.

Top-class performance in the world’s smallest body
Full-frame expressive power and wide dynamic range – At the heart of the Sigma FP2 is an advanced full-frame sensor that captures images with exceptional resolution, rendering power, depth of color and subtle tonal gradation. Its uncompromising performance gives photographers the freedom to capture any scene or subject, no matter the shooting conditions.
Color modes for creative freedom in photography – Thirteen color modes, selectable with the dedicated “Color” button, enable intuitive and unrestricted creative expression . Developed on the basis of Sigma’s own color science, this diverse range of preset modes lets photographers craft the tone of their work, capture the atmosphere of the moment and bring out the full appeal of their photography.
A true evolution of the fp series – The Sigma FP2 inherits the innovative concept of the original fp, along with the distinctive character that made it one-of-a-kind. At the same time, every element and function of the camera has been reexamined and refined to create a more intuitive and expressive shooting experience, making the FP2 a true evolution of the fp series.
Tilting LCD for broader perspectives – While keeping its compact body, the Sigma FP2 features a tilting LCD that tilts up 90° and down 45°. From low angles to high angles, it broadens the photographer’s perspective.
Dedicated external electronic viewfinder for focused shooting – Easily attached to and detached from the camera via a single USB-C port, the high-resolution, high-luminance electronic viewfinder helps photographers feel deeply immersed in their photography. Its tilting mechanism angles upward by up to 90°, making it comfortable to shoot not only at eye level but also at waist level.
24.5-megapixel partially stacked CMOS sensor – The high-performance partially stacked CMOS sensor delivers outstanding rendering power, advanced AF performance and excellent dynamic range. Its high-speed readout significantly reduces rolling shutter distortion, enabling even faster continuous shooting and video recording at high frame rates.
