Sigma FP2 full-frame camera launched in India at Rs 2,16,500
The Story in Brief
Sigma has launched the FP2, a compact full-frame camera, in India at Rs 2,16,500 for the body alone. It will go on sale across the country on November 11. The company claims it is the smallest full-frame camera body in the world.
The FP2 succeeds the original fp from 2019 and keeps its modular, box-shaped design with faster hardware. It features a 24.5MP partially stacked CMOS sensor with reduced rolling shutter, burst shooting at about 20fps for up to 200 frames, and autofocus that now tracks birds in addition to people and animals. The camera has 70GB of built-in storage alongside an SD card slot, and a rear screen that tilts 90 degrees up and 45 degrees down.
A switch on top puts the camera into CINE mode, offering 6K open gate recording, 14.1 stops of dynamic range, and support for ProRes RAW and 32-bit float audio. A Director's Viewfinder mode simulates framing of cinema cameras like the ARRI ALEXA 35 and Sony VENICE 2. Sigma has also introduced four new accessories: the EVF-21 viewfinder, HU-21 hot shoe, LVF-21 loupe and BPL-21 base plate, India pricing for these has not been announced.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Sigma is targeting hybrid shooters who want a single body for stills and video without the bulk of a traditional cinema camera. The 70GB of onboard storage addresses a practical pain point for long shoots, while the Director's Viewfinder mode makes the FP2 a potential second body for film crews who already own an ARRI or Sony cinema rig. The key unresolved question is pricing for the four new accessories, since the body itself is a niche purchase and the total system cost will determine whether the FP2 gains traction beyond early adopters. Sales data from the November 11 launch will be the first real test.
