Nikon Zf 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
- Weight (body): the fp leads at 422 g vs the Zf's 710 g.
- Burst — electronic: the fp leads at High Speed approx. 18 fps; Medium approx. 5 fps; Low approx. 3 fps vs the Zf's Approx. 14 fps (extended); up to 30 fps with Pre-Release Capture (C30).
- Battery life (CIPA): the Zf leads at Approx. 360 shots (viewfinder, energy saving off); approx. 380 shots (monitor, energy saving off); up to 410/430 with energy saving on vs the fp's 280 still images; 70 minutes continuous.

Spec values are the manufacturers' published figures, compared factually — we don't rank cameras. Fit verdicts are planning estimates from published interior dimensions, not guarantees. See methodology.
