The Sigma FP2 will be available on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at authorized Sigma retailers starting at $2,199 USD (body only).
Carrying over the concept of the original fp series, along with the distinctive character that made it one-of-a-kind, while enhancing every function, Sigma has, the company claims, perfected the FP2 as a “Small, Powerful, Adaptable” camera. Every element and function of the camera has been reexamined and refined to create a more intuitive and expressive shooting experience, making the FP2 a true evolution of the fp series. Its pocket-sized, lightweight body is equipped, Sigma adds, “with powerful shooting features, from a high-performance full-frame sensor to switching between still and cine modes, each with its own dedicated UI.”
At the heart of the Sigma FP2 is an advanced full-frame sensor -24.5-megapixel partially stacked CMOS – that captures images with exceptional resolution, rendering power, depth of color and subtle tonal gradation. Thirteen color modes, selectable with the dedicated “Color” button, enable intuitive and unrestricted creative expression. Developed on the basis of Sigma’s own color science, this diverse range of preset modes lets photographers craft the tone of their work, capture the atmosphere of the moment and bring out the full appeal of their photography.
The Sigma FP2 features a tilting LCD that tilts up 90° and down 45°. From low angles to high angles, it broadens the photographer’s perspective. The camera uses a dedicated external electronic viewfinder for focused shooting that can easily be attached to and detached from the camera via a single USB-C port. The high-resolution, high-luminance electronic viewfinder helps photographers feel deeply immersed in their photography. Its tilting mechanism angles upward by up to 90°, making it comfortable to shoot not only at eye level but also at waist level.
While maintaining the compact size that defines the fp series, the Sigma FP2 achieves approximately 30% longer battery life than the original fp. Its high-capacity battery can capture approximately 370 still images or about 130 minutes of video, enabling extended shooting sessions.
In addition to an SD card slot, the Sigma FP2 features 70GB of internal storage that supports high-speed writing. It allows recording to continue seamlessly when the memory card is full and ensures comfortable shooting in situations that call for additional capacity.
Here is additional information shared by Sigma that filmmakers will want to know about the new camera:
The Sigma FP2 is both a still camera and a full-fledged cinema camera. A single dedicated switch on the top of the body instantly toggles between STILL mode and CINE mode, each with functions, a user interface and a workflow fully optimized for that mode. Optimized for the creative production process and highly customizable, the FP2 is a true cinema camera capable of cinema-quality imagery, offering both mobility and performance in an exceptionally compact and lightweight body.
A compact, dedicated cinema camera
Transforming to suit its setup, the Sigma FP2 serves as a compact full-frame digital cinema camera for a wide range of video production. With a wealth of functions packed into its compact body, it covers every type of production, from personal vlogs and fly-on-the-wall documentaries to high-end film and TV productions.
6K OpenGate recording
The Sigma FP2 supports 6K OpenGate recording, capturing every bit of information from the full-frame sensor. Footage can be adapted to a variety of formats with different aspect ratios while maintaining high image quality, supporting video production in the multi-platform era.
Up to 14.1 stops of dynamic range (When using 4K FF L-Log)
Designed with ample highlight headroom, the Sigma FP2 delivers rich tonal gradation even in high-contrast environments. With 7 stops of headroom secured at ISO 1250 and above, it offers greater freedom for color grading in post-production.
32-bit float audio recording
The Sigma FP2 supports 32-bit float audio recording, reducing noise at low volumes and clipping at high volumes for recording with a wide dynamic range. (Only available when the optional HU-21 hot shoe unit is attached and the Panasonic DMW-XLR2 and DMW-DMS1 are used.)
Support for advanced post-production
The Sigma FP2 supports ProRes RAW, which combines a high degree of editing flexibility with the efficient data handling of compression. It also supports L-Log from Leica Camera AG, which can be edited directly in a wide range of grading software, accommodating a diverse range of workflows.
Director’s Viewfinder function
The Sigma FP2 is equipped with a Director’s Viewfinder function that can simulate the shooting ranges of various brands’ cinema cameras. In addition to the desqueeze display mode for use with anamorphic lenses, the FP2 now supports the latest equipment, including the ARRI ALEXA 35 and Sony VENICE 2 / BURANO. The LCD Viewfinder LVF-21 (sold separately) is also available, allowing users to reliably check the view on the optical axis.
The Sigma FP2, a one-of-a-kind compact system camera that offers a high degree of user-oriented adaptability, will be available on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at authorized Sigma retailers starting at $2,199 USD (body only). The FP2 will also be sold as a bundle with the 50mm F2 DG | Contemporary lens ($2,749) or Electronic Viewfinder EVF-21 ($2,749).
