Sigma FP2 Combines Compact Design, Partially Stacked Sensor, and ProRes RAW

Sigma has announced the FP2, a compact full-frame mirrorless camera that builds on the design of the original fp while adding a faster sensor, improved autofocus, and more advanced video capabilities. The new camera combines a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked CMOS sensor with internal 6K OpenGate recording, making it an option for photographers and filmmakers who want a compact hybrid camera.

The FP2 retains the minimalist, modular design that distinguished its predecessor, with a lens mount occupying much of the front of the body. Sigma has also updated the camera’s controls, display, storage, and battery to make it more versatile for still photography and video production.

Sigma lists the FP2 at $2,199 for the body alone. It is scheduled to become available on November 11, 2026, with optional bundles that include a 50mm f/2 lens or an electronic viewfinder. 

A 24.5MP Partially Stacked Sensor and Faster Autofocus

At the heart of the Sigma FP2 is a 24.5-megapixel full-frame partially stacked CMOS sensor. Its faster readout is designed to reduce rolling-shutter distortion while supporting quicker continuous shooting and high-frame-rate video recording. However, faster readout does not eliminate rolling shutter entirely. 

The sensor is paired with an upgraded autofocus system that Sigma says improves focusing speed, accuracy, and low-light performance. Subject detection recognizes people and animals, with bird detection added to the camera’s capabilities.

The FP2 can shoot continuous bursts at approximately 20 frames per second, with a buffer supporting up to 200 frames in a burst. Its electronic shutter supports shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1/25,600 second, along with bulb exposure of up to five minutes.

For color customization, Sigma has added a dedicated Color button that provides access to 13 color modes. These presets use Sigma’s own color science to give photographers different rendering options without requiring extensive editing.

6K OpenGate Recording and ProRes RAW

Video is a major part of the FP2’s appeal. The camera supports 6K OpenGate recording, capturing the full sensor area to give editors more flexibility when reframing footage for different aspect ratios and platforms. It also supports full-width 4K recording at up to 60p and cropped 4K recording at up to 120p for slow-motion footage. 

The FP2 supports internal recording in H.264 and H.265, as well as L-Log for greater flexibility in post-production. It also supports Apple ProRes RAW and ProRes RAW HQ, with recording capabilities depending on the resolution and frame rate selected. The camera can record ProRes RAW at up to approximately 6K 30p, while higher frame rates are available at lower resolutions in supported modes. 

Compact Design With an Optional Electronic Viewfinder

The Sigma FP2 measures approximately 112.8 x 69.9mm across its front dimensions and weighs around 460g with the battery and memory card, according to the supplied specifications. Its compact body retains the minimalist design of the original fp while adding a tilting rear LCD that can angle upward by 90 degrees and downward by 45 degrees.

Photographers who prefer an eye-level viewfinder can add the optional EVF-21. Its 5.76-million-dot OLED panel attaches through USB-C and can tilt upward by as much as 90 degrees, allowing for waist-level shooting. Sigma also offers the optional HU-21 hot-shoe unit for compatible accessories.

Connectivity includes a full-size HDMI Type A port and two USB-C ports, along with a timecode terminal and external microphone connectivity. Standard 1/4-inch mounting points support a range of rigging and accessory options.

70GB of Internal Storage and Improved Battery Life

Unlike many cameras that rely entirely on removable media, the FP2 includes approximately 70GB of internal storage alongside a single UHS-II SD card slot. It also supports recording to an external SSD over USB-C, offering additional flexibility for video production. 

Sigma says the new battery delivers approximately 30% longer battery life than the original fp. The company rates the FP2 for around 370 still images or 130 minutes of video recording per charge, although actual results will vary with settings and shooting conditions.

Pricing and Availability

The Sigma FP2 is priced at $2,199 for the body alone and is scheduled to ship on November 11, 2026. Sigma will also offer a bundle with the 50mm f/2 DG Contemporary lens for $2,749 and a bundle with the EVF-21 electronic viewfinder for $2,749. B&H Photo is already accepting pre-orders for the FP2.
