[Canon Rumors]

A big canvas for big moments​

• Back-illuminated 35mm full size effective approx. 61 megapixels Bayer sensor
• Contrast detection autofocus + Phase detection autofocus
• Supports USB power supply

A small camera for a big freedom​

• Back-illuminated 35mm full size effective approx. 24.6 megapixels Bayer sensor
• Contrast autofocus
• The original “World’s smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless”

Is this a typo? or are they comparing old and new FP models?
On a side note that QR code to share picture setting is really neat and useful.

This is another example of a very bizzarre camera that could have some interesting applications with its size and customizability.

Although I will selfishly say that I wish they gave all their R&D power to make RF lenses, so that I can get great quality at an affordable price

Checkout the ************* review. He tore it a new one. The camera is hot garbage.

Seems that it does zero video of any kind?

It is a very strange camera.
It fits in a pocket but can only record DCI externally.
61 MP but somehow records uncropped 4K "RAW".
Crazier than that is the internal "RAW" is only 8-bit.

I do not trust his review very much since he reviewed the AF in full-frame where it only does contrast AF.
Phase detect only works in crop mode.
AF looks good here. Crop mode is also the only way to get the full DR.

What?
It has the same video capabilities as the original FP except the higher resolution allows for greater digital zoom.

I see now. The email I got from Sigma and this post made no reference to video capabilities whatsoever.

There are so many great general interest cameras made by the market leaders like Canon, Nikon and Sony, I guess it makes sense for niche manufacturers like Sigma to make niche cameras like this one.

Canon, Nikon, and Sony do make niche cameras as well.
As single models go the FP sold respectably.
