Sigma’s tiny full-frame camera is back with a faster sensor, a tilting screen and 6K OpenGate video. Here’s the price, the release date and what changed since the original fp.
Sigma FP2 price and release date
The Sigma FP2 goes on sale on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026. Sigma announced it on Oct. 23 in Japan, and its US store lists the body at $2,199 with online reservations open.
Sigma also lists the FP2 with the EVF-21 electronic viewfinder and with the 50mm F2 DG Contemporary lens. The US store prices both kits at $2,749, $550 more than the body, with reservations open.
| Version | US price |
|---|---|
| Sigma FP2, body only | $2,199 |
| FP2 with EVF-21 viewfinder | $2,749 |
| FP2 with 50mm F2 DG Contemporary | $2,749 |
| Original Sigma fp at launch in 2019 | $1,899 |
Sensor, autofocus and burst shooting
The FP2 uses a 24.5MP partially stacked full-frame CMOS sensor behind the L-Mount. Faster readout cuts rolling shutter distortion, and that speed allows bursts of up to about 20 fps for up to 200 frames.
Autofocus combines phase and contrast detection and tracks people, dogs, cats and, new for the series, birds, with eye detection. Still ISO runs from 100 to 102,400, and shutter speeds go from 1/25,600 of a second to 30 seconds, plus bulb up to five minutes. A dedicated Color button cycles through 13 color modes built on Sigma’s color science.
A cinema camera at the flip of a switch
A switch on top moves between STILL and CINE, and each mode has its own interface and menus. In CINE mode the FP2 records 6K OpenGate, using the whole sensor, at up to 59.94 fps, and 4K at up to 59.94 fps, with 100 and 119.88 fps in a crop mode.

Formats include Apple ProRes RAW HQ and ProRes RAW up to 6K at 29.97 fps, H.264, H.265 and Leica’s L-Log. Sigma rates dynamic range at up to 14.1 stops in 4K full-frame L-Log. With the optional HU-21 hot shoe plus Panasonic’s DMW-XLR2 XLR adapter or DMW-DMS1 shotgun microphone, the camera records 32-bit float audio. The Director’s Viewfinder function simulates the framing of cinema cameras such as the ARRI ALEXA 35 and Sony VENICE 2 and BURANO.
Electronic image stabilization works for video only, and it can’t be combined with 6K recording.
Screen, storage, ports and battery
The 3.15-inch touch screen has about 2.1 million dots and tilts up 90° and down 45°. Inside sits 70GB of internal storage next to an SDXC UHS-II slot, and a portable SSD can record over USB 3.2.

Two USB-C ports handle charging, the viewfinder, webcam output and drives, along with a full-size HDMI 2.1 port and a 3.5 mm jack that takes a microphone or timecode. The BP-91 battery lasts about 370 photos or 130 minutes of video, which Sigma says is about 30% more than the original fp.
Accessories
Standard 1/4-inch screw holes on both sides and the bottom accept Sigma and third-party rigs. The new add-ons are the EVF-21 viewfinder, the HU-21 hot shoe unit, the BPL-21 base plate with a 3/8-inch screw, the LVF-21 screen loupe with 2.5x magnification, the BC-91 charger and the CN-91 DC connector.
