Canon EOS R5 C vs Sigma fp L

The Canon EOS R5 C and the Sigma fp L side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Sigma fp L if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (61 against 45 MP); more lenses made for it in this guide (158 against 99); and a lighter body (427 g against 770 g). On these specs the Canon EOS R5 C has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Canon RF or L-Mount lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
