Canon EOS R8 vs Sigma fp
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- Burst — electronic: the R8 leads at 40 fps (electronic shutter); RAW Burst 30 fps vs the fp's High Speed approx. 18 fps; Medium approx. 5 fps; Low approx. 3 fps.
- Battery life (CIPA): the R8 leads at 370 shots (LCD) / 220 shots (EVF), CIPA standard, at 23°C vs the fp's 280 still images; 70 minutes continuous.
- Weight (body): the fp leads at 422 g vs the R8's 461 g.
