AF has become the bleeding edge where Sony, Canon, and Nikon are pushing camera technology forward. Continuous AF is lacks the reliability to be usable and single AF is slow, if accurate. Ergonomics: while the industrial design is pleasingly stripped back and minimalist, even with the optional hand grip, the fp is an uncomfortable camera to hold and the lack of physical inputs mean lots of diving into menus.This is true of pretty much any contemporary camera, though. There's plenty of DR and the RAW files are nice and malleable. IQ and RAW files: IQ is rather good, colors are pleasing and well balanced.The body lacks IBIS (but there are L-mount lenses such as the Panasonic 24-105mm that have OIS) but this is somewhat made for by stellar high ISO performance. High ISO performance: this was a pleasant surprise.Size: this is to state the obvious, but it is pretty great to have an FF ILC that's this small and light. ![]() My shooting style is a mix of street, architecture, environments, still life and occasional portraits - I don't shoot video anymore and acknowledge that the fp is very much designed to be the heart of a video system and hence has limitations for shooting stills. ![]() ![]() I pre-ordered the fp from B&H and picked it up the day it came out. I was very excited by the prospect of such a small FF camera and, given that at the time I owned both a Leica SL and CL and had two L lenses, the Panasonic 24-105mm S f/4 and the Sigma 45mm 2.8 (which was announced alongside the fp but hit stores quite a bit earlier). The surprise announcement of the Sigma fp was greeted with enthusiasm but there hasn't been much coverage since being out in the wild.
