I have had this camera for about a month or so. I have read it is horrible in low light. I haven't found that to be so. Are we saying low light or no light? There is a difference.I will say this. I cranked up this guy to 1/125 at an ISO of 12800. The photos came out beautiful. There's some noise at that high of an ISO but... the picture is so large you can't see it squashed to 3000 pixels. I have provided some imagery below to show the High ISO and some during the day into the Sun with an ND filter. The camera stills are pretty amazing, I love the color science. Rolling shutter is something to be desired though but that's to be expected of most any mirrorless camera with no mechanical shutter.Lets talk about having to rig it.

Rolling shutter is something to be desired though but that's to be expected of most any mirrorless camera with no mechanical shutter.Lets talk about having to rig it. (A gripe from every influencer out there.) Yet they still buy the competition and rig it out anyway. I am a video producer / cinematographer by trade. There hasn't been a time in my career where I didn't pull focus, connect an external monitor system of some sort or write to a giant card or external card on you guessed it... a rig. That's the life of cinematographers. So with this small camera I find it amazing that I can get a highly portable professional rig to put in places larger rigs could only dream of fitting in.Who is this for? This is for someone who has their main video rig for their pro gigs and needs a crazy amazing B cam or second cam that can also shoot behind the scenes photography. This is for the hobbyist / cinematographer / content creator who wants that movie quality look easily without having to drop $5K-$10K for full frame cinema quality footage at 12-14 bit. Note that I said Full Frame. I know the BMPCC exists but unfortunately it has a Micro 4/3 crop.The camera definitely takes some getting used to. Its not for everyone. If you want to run and gun. It will do it, but slower than most. I am not gonna say its the best. I did subtract a star for the rolling shutter, and the file sizes are pretty large. Again someone in the business should be prepared for this. For the money and suite of super affordable i-series sigma glass... its hard to beat. Hope this helps someone because there isn't much positive out there for this camera and there should be.

What a sleeper camera. Nobody talks about it. I don't know why. For video, this beats everything out there, unless you are shooting an Arri or RED at a MUCH higher price point (ie, unaffordable for most people). Everybody on the internet is gaga over the latest Canon, Sony, Panasonic, ... etc., with their top-of-the-line systems offering somewhere between 0.4 and 0.6 Mbps bitrates of ENCODED 8-bit or 10-bit image data. And, if you want 4:2:2 color from those cameras, you will most likely need to use an external recorder as well. This camera records 12-bit RAW DNG un-encoded video at over 2.5 Mbps bitrate, that is 4:4:4 color, and without any need for an external recorder. But, you will need to use a small external USB drive (like the Samsung T5) to capture such ... MoreWhat a sleeper camera. Nobody talks about it. I don't know why.

But, you will need to use a small external USB drive (like the Samsung T5) to capture such image data. The image quality is truly outstanding with richer colors than any of the other hybrid cameras.As for photo quality , the images are extremely clean and great in low light. Most people do not need to shoot at ISO over 64,000, but if you do then of course you will need even larger pixels. On the other hand, if you are a professional landscape shooter, then there are probably not enough pixels here to satisfy you. But as an occasional landscape shooter, I simply stitch images together for outstanding results, where no one can tell the difference between this and a larger medium format camera.Lastly, I would like to point out that there is probably a mistake in the Sigma literature about the dynamic range of this camera. I am getting over 15-stops of dynamic range from photos from this camera, at least at the base ISO. Maybe they are averaging across the full range of ISO, when they advertise 13-stops. Needless to say, I am VERY, VERY happy with the performance of this camera.As for possible negatives, it would nice to have a small viewfinder. And, it would be nice to have 5-axis IBIS. And, it would be nice to have the option of a mechanical shutter. However, if any of these capabilities compromise the tiny size of this camera, then I would say no to any of them. The small size and modular nature of this camera make it the perfect hybrid photo/video camera, for me.

The build quality, colours, size are all excellent on this camera, but I packed mine and returned it for 2 main reasons (and bought the Sony Alpha 7RII):1. The Sigma fp is ultra expensive for what it does. I wouldn't have paid 1 dollar more than 1200$ which would have been the appropriate price for such a camera as it's main competitor is the Blackmagic pocket camera. When compared side by side against the Sony Alpha 7RII which now sells for 1398$ and has almost twice the resolution of this sensor (both sensors are back side illuminated), the Sony blows away the Sigma fp in every department: speed, image quality, mechanical shutter, flash sync speed, sensor based image stabilization, tilty flippy screen and I could go on and on. If you're getting a brand new Sony ... MoreThe build quality, colours, size are all excellent on this camera, but I packed mine and returned it for 2 main reasons (and bought the Sony Alpha 7RII):1.

If you're getting a brand new Sony Alpha 7RII 400$ cheaper, why would anyone want to cough up 1800$ for Sigma fp.2. The main reason however for me to drop the Sigma fp was Sigma's full frame foveon sensor L-mount camera. My main and only purpose of investing in the L-mount system was the full frame foveon sensor. Since foveon cannot do video, the Sigma fp would have been the L-mount video camera to fill that void. Since there's a lot of uncertainty regarding the future of that foveon full frame sensor, I do not find it logical to gamble on an entirely new mount especially given all the shortcomings of the Sigma fp vs Sony Alpha 7RII mentioned in point 1.Therefore for me the Sony Alpha 7RII, which not only trounces Sigma fp in every department, it also leaves an additional 400$ in my pocket to purchase a top quality lens i.e. a 1399$ Sigma 40mm f/1.4 Art now effectively costs $999.
