Sigma FP2 brings 6K Open Gate, ProRes RAW support and a new 24.5MP partially stacked sensor

Sigma has revealed the FP2, a successor in its compact full‑frame mirrorless family that aims to serve both stills shooters and filmmakers. The new model swaps in a 24.5MP partially stacked full‑frame CMOS sensor designed for faster readout, and the company positions the camera as a pocketable body with expanded video features and workflow options.

The updated sensor architecture is central to the FP2. Sigma says the partially stacked design brings quicker readout speeds compared with the earlier fp line, which should reduce rolling shutter artifacts and allow higher frame rates while aiding autofocus performance. The camera can shoot continuous stills at up to 20 fps, and Sigma has also refreshed its subject‑detection AF to include people, animals and birds.

Video capabilities are a major focus. The FP2 can use the full 3:2 sensor area for video, which gives extra image to work with for anamorphic capture, reframing and extracting alternate aspect ratios from a single take. Native recording includes 6K Open Gate capture at rates up to 59.94 fps using compressed codecs, plus 4K at up to 60p and a cropped 4K mode that reaches approximately 120p.

For high‑quality RAW workflows, Apple ProRes RAW and ProRes RAW HQ are supported at resolutions up to 6K/29.97p when recording to an external USB‑C SSD. The camera also offers L‑Log recording and carries a Sigma claim of up to 14.1 stops of dynamic range; the company notes that independent testing will be needed to confirm the camera’s actual imaging latitude.

Sigma has kept the FP2’s physical footprint small. The body weighs approximately 376 grams without battery and memory card, which makes it a candidate for compact rigs, gimbals and drone use where size and weight are at a premium. The manufacturer describes the design as modular so shooters can adapt the camera to both photographic and filmmaking needs. An optional electronic viewfinder is offered for users who prefer eye‑level composition.

Usability changes include a tilting rear LCD, a departure from the fixed screen used on the original fp models. The FP2 also packs roughly 70GB of internal storage alongside an SDXC UHS‑II card slot, USB‑C connectivity and a full‑size HDMI output to support a variety of capture and monitoring setups.

Recording choices are broad: internal compressed 6K up to 59.94 fps, higher‑rate cropped 4K up to approximately 120p for slow motion, and full external ProRes RAW capture up to 6K/29.97p into a connected USB‑C SSD. Those options are aimed at people who want flexible capture formats and straightforward post production workflows without always relying on external recorders for every mode.

On the stills side, Sigma says the improved sensor readout helps reduce rolling shutter and contributes to the camera’s faster continuous shooting and autofocus responsiveness. The subject‑detection AF improvements cover people, animals and birds, expanding what the FP2 can reliably track for both photographers and hybrid shooters.

Connectivity and media are practical: you get approximately 70GB inside the camera for quick captures, an SDXC UHS‑II slot for longer shoots, and USB‑C for external drives and accessories. A full‑size HDMI port provides direct monitoring or feed‑out to recorders and external monitors.

Sigma positions the FP2 as a compact yet capable tool that fits into small rigs while adding features filmmakers expect, such as full‑sensor Open Gate capture and ProRes RAW output. The company has set the price at $2,199 for the body only and plans to ship the camera starting November 11, 2026.

The announcement leaves some questions for reviewers: Sigma’s 14.1 stops dynamic range claim and the practical limits of the new AF system will both benefit from independent lab and field tests. In the meantime, the FP2’s combination of a partly stacked 24.5MP sensor, 6K Open Gate capture, internal storage and a tilting rear screen make it a noteworthy update to Sigma’s compact full‑frame line.
