Sigma FP2 Brings Full-Frame Shooting to a Pocketable Body
Sigma has announced the FP2, a compact full-frame L-mount mirrorless camera that succeeds the original fp. The body alone goes on sale November 11 for $2,199, according to The Verge, which reported the specifications on 23 October 2026.
The launch arrives seven years after the original fp was described as the world's smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera. Sigma now calls the FP2 the world's smallest full-frame camera, and the company qualifies that claim as of October 2026. The FP2 body weighs about six grams more than the original fp.
The imaging core is a new 24.5-megapixel partially stacked back-side illuminated (BSI) full-frame CMOS sensor. In a BSI design, the wiring sits behind the light-sensitive pixels rather than in front of them, so more light reaches the photodiodes. The camera shoots stills at up to 20 fps. Video reaches 6K at 60 fps, or 4K at 120 fps using a cropped portion of the sensor. Sigma's press release frames the product as a launch of the FP2 itself.
On the back, the FP2 has a 3.2-inch, 2.1-million-dot LCD touchscreen that angles up and down. Storage is a single SD card slot alongside 70GB of built-in storage. Battery life is 30 percent longer than the original fp, which Sigma rates at around 370 photos or about 130 minutes of video capture.
Sigma will bundle the FP2 with the EVF-21 electronic viewfinder for $2,749. The EVF-21 uses a 5.76-million-dot OLED panel and an eye sensor that switches between the rear LCD and the viewfinder. A second $2,749 bundle pairs the camera with the I-series 50mm F2 DG lens.
Sigma describes the FP2 as a light, pocketable full-frame camera that functions as both a still camera and a full-fledged cinema camera. PetaPixel reported that Sigma markets the compact, modular body as the ultimate hybrid camera, and Sigma's own site states the camera is fully designed around human creativity. The company also published two "Captured with the Sigma FP2" blog posts. One, "Paris Ciphers," is a shoot made with the camera. The other, "Your Eyes Nepal," follows photographer Min Hyunwoo to Dolpo, Nepal, where he documents a Tibetan family as part of his "Your Eyes" project.
The specification list makes the trade-offs visible. A body this small that records 6K at 60 fps relies on a single SD card slot for high-bitrate capture, and the 70GB of built-in storage will matter to anyone planning long takes or multi-day shoots. The 4K120 mode uses a cropped readout, so buyers chasing high frame rates will need to check the framing against their lenses. A working shooter will test those points first.
The broader context here is the hybrid positioning. A camera that targets stills and cinema in one pocketable body reduces the number of bodies a solo creator must carry, which is the practical argument Sigma is making. Whether the FP2 delivers that in the field will depend on thermal behaviour, card write speeds and real-world battery figures. The November 11 date opens that evaluation.
