Sigma has unveiled the FP2, a tiny full-frame L-Mount camera that adds 6K Open Gate, faster still photography and much more complete hybrid handling.
Announced on October 23, 2026, the camera arrives seven years after the original fp. Sigma retains the pared-back, expandable body concept while addressing weaknesses that made the first generation demanding in everyday use.
The FP2 takes a different route from the Sigma BF, which we tested in a video review: it keeps a physical STILL/CINE switch and can expand into a photographic or filmmaking setup using optional accessories.
A new sensor, 20fps and bird-detection autofocus
The 24.5-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor uses a partially stacked design for faster readout. That helps reduce rolling-shutter distortion compared with the original fp, an important change because the new camera still relies entirely on an electronic shutter.
Continuous shooting reaches 20 frames per second, with bursts of up to 180 DNG RAW frames or 200 JPEGs according to published specifications. Hybrid autofocus now detects people, dogs, cats and birds. Bird recognition is welcome, though real-world tracking performance still needs independent testing.
6K Open Gate, ProRes RAW and useful production options
For video, the FP2 offers 6K Open Gate at up to 60p, using the full sensor area for flexible reframing into horizontal and vertical edits. It also shoots 4K at up to 60p across the full width and up to 120p with a crop. These modes are useful when one shot needs to serve several platforms.
Internal 10-bit recording supports L-Log, while ProRes RAW and ProRes RAW HQ at up to 6K/30p are recorded to an external USB-C SSD, not to the SD card. Sigma quotes up to 14.1 stops of dynamic range under specific recording settings; that is a manufacturer claim rather than a result from our own testing.
Director’s Viewfinder can simulate the framing of cinema cameras including the ARRI ALEXA 35 and Sony VENICE 2/BURANO, alongside anamorphic desqueeze viewing. Recording 32-bit float audio requires the optional HU-21 unit with compatible Panasonic audio accessories; it is not a standalone function of the bare camera.
Tilting screen, 70GB storage and dual USB-C
The 3.15-inch rear touchscreen has approximately 2.1 million dots and tilts 90° upward or 45° downward. The new optional EVF-21 uses a 5.76-million-dot OLED panel, connects via USB-C and can tilt as well, but it is sold separately.
Storage includes 70GB of built-in memory alongside a UHS-II SD card slot. Two USB-C ports, one supporting up to 10Gbps, make room for SSDs, power and accessories, while a full-size HDMI socket improves connectivity. It is versatile, although elaborate rigs will need careful planning around how the shared ports are used.
The BP-91 battery increases the rated endurance to approximately 370 stills or 130 minutes of video, while the body weighs around 376g without its battery. There are 13 colour modes and separate STILL/CINE controls. There is no built-in viewfinder or in-body sensor-shift stabilisation (IBIS); video stabilisation remains electronic.

Price and availability
Sigma plans to make the FP2 available from November 11, 2026. Reported body-only prices are $2,199 in the US and £1,899 in the UK. We did not establish a confirmed official euro price or a specific price for Greece. The EVF-21 and audio accessories are additional purchases.
What we think
The original fp had a compelling idea: make a full-frame camera small enough to start with the essentials and build whatever you need around it. In practice, its fixed screen, slower sensor and autofocus could get in the way. The FP2 goes after those exact pain points without becoming just another large mirrorless body.
For anyone shooting both stills and video, 6K Open Gate and faster sensor readout are more useful than simply adding megapixels. On documentary shoots or small productions, you can keep the rig minimal and add an SSD, viewfinder or audio equipment only when the job calls for it. Whether that stays convenient depends on how the camera handles with everything attached.
There are two clear compromises. Without IBIS, it cannot solve demanding handheld shots by itself, and 6K ProRes RAW requires an external drive, which brings a cable, mounting and extra bulk. Even so, this is a much more convincing take on the original fp: not because everything is built in, but because you get to choose what to carry.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Sigma FP2 record ProRes RAW to an SD card?
No. ProRes RAW at up to 6K/30p requires an external USB-C SSD. The camera also supports separate internal 10-bit video recording.
Does it have in-body image stabilisation?
No. The FP2 lacks sensor-shift IBIS; it offers electronic video stabilisation.
Is the electronic viewfinder included?
Not with the standard body. The EVF-21 is an optional accessory that connects via USB-C.
