A few months ago Sigma made the announcement about it’s new L-Mount fp camera. The world’s smallest  and lightest “pocketable” Full-Frame mirrorless camera which created quite a stir. Well today we can tell you officially the price point and shipping date for this camera and the 45mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens!

Set to release and begin shipping on October 24th, 2019, the fp camera will launch at $1,899 (US) for the body, or be available as a bundle with the 45mm lens mentioned above at $2,199 (US)

Press Release for the Sigma fp – The Smallest and Lightest Full-Frame Mirrorless Digital Camera:

With dimensions of 112.6×69.9×45.3mm and body weight of 370g, the all-new Sigma fp is the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless digital camera. It is equipped with a 35mm Bayer full-frame sensor with 24.6 megapixels in a compact body. Suitable for everyday use by photographers of all skill levels, from novices to the most discerning professionals, the Sigma fp produces images that are of the highest quality, capable of supporting both serious still and cine shooting.

The Sigma fp is purpose-built with durability in mind. Its dust and splash-proof body make it ideal for long hours in various shooting environments. The absence of a mechanical shutter removes the potential for noise and shutter shock while increasing reliability. The Sigma fp uses the L-mount, characterized by a short flange focal length, large diameter, and superior durability. In addition to the wide-ranging choices of Sigma lenses, other manufacturers’ lenses can be used through the L-Mount Alliance with Leica Camera AG and Panasonic Corporation. With the Sigma Mount Converter MC-21, Sigma SA mount and Sigma Canon EF mount lenses can also be used.

By supporting 12-bit CinemaDNG external recording for RAW video data and 4K UHD/24fps recording, the Sigma fp is capable of full-fledged video production. Alternating between still and cine shooting modes is possible with a simple flip of a switch. Each mode comes with a specially designed operation system and displays, making it possible to concentrate on shooting in each mode, stress-free.
