Sigma has announced the FP2, a 24.5MP mirrorless hybrid camera featuring 6K Open Gate ProRes RAW recording and 32-bit float audio support. The device is designed for both still photography and professional cinema production, utilizing a modular architecture and external USB-C storage for high-bitrate video capture.
The launch of the Sigma FP2 signals a push to bridge the gap between compact mirrorless systems and high-end cinema rigs by prioritizing 6K RAW and 32-bit float audio. By adopting a modular architecture and external SSD recording, Sigma addresses the thermal and storage limitations that often plague small-form-factor cameras in professional environments. This move pressures competitors like Sony and Panasonic to offer similar high-bitrate internal or external recording options in their mid-range hybrid lines. Watch for how the industry adopts the FP2 as a B-cam or crash cam in productions already utilizing ARRI or RED ecosystems, given its new Director’s Viewfinder simulations.

It features a 24.5MP partially stacked sensor capable of 6K Open Gate ProRes RAW recording and 32-bit float audio.
