Sigma has introduced the FP2, a compact full-frame hybrid camera that keeps the original FP’s minimalist design while adding a new sensor and 6K video. Its 24.5-megapixel, partially stacked sensor supports bursts of up to 20 frames per second, and the camera’s hybrid autofocus tracks people, pets and birds, including their eyes. A tilting touchscreen moves up or down for different shooting angles and extends from the body to aid cooling during video recording. The FP2 can capture open-gate 6K at nearly 60 frames per second, with internal ProRes RAW recording available at up to 6K and nearly 30 frames per second. It has 70 gigabytes of built-in storage alongside a single SD card slot, plus two USB-C ports and full-size HDMI.
