Still waiting for DJI to implement an L mount camera with EVF in the right place-inside the camera.
Dude yeah, I'm also hoping DJI brings something to this market.
I think the FP2 still looks great and I may get one, but we'll see.

Just saw a comment in another thread about the ZR flippy screen, and was reminded about how much I hate that lol.
This proper display on the FP2 is so great. This will be a great alt lens host.
I'm hoping to attend the release party/hands on event here in Bangkok next week.

When original FP was released, there was no competition in similar size as it was before Sony A7C series, Panasonic S9... Sigma CEO was saying he wanted to have a camera small for his travels similar to the DP P&S series previously... I like the Sigma colors, but the evf makes it awkward to use and store in a pocket... There are not many IS lenses in L mount... Tilting LCD makes it easier with M lenses esp it has similar sensor topping thickness to Leica SL's..
Similarly Dpreview is asking what is the FP2 for esp given the price?

I'm more interested in using this with my M glass than AF lenses. I might get one modern lens for it, some kind of stabilized zoom.
On my FP1, I loved it with a small 35... The 7artisans 35/1.4 was great, the Kipon 35/2.4 was fantastic.

Same. The 40 Summicron C was great on mine when I had it.

I would be interested in FP2 as a platform for adapted M-mount lenses since my original fp is quite good for that purpose from sensor stack thickness perspective but fp has always suffered from somewhat noticeable color shading with wide angle lenses. It's workable with user-made lens profiles but multiple profiles should ideally be made for each lens for different apertures and shooting distances and it gets a bit troublesome to switch between a couple of different profiles while shooting.
Perhaps FP2 would be better in that color shading regard. However, when I bought my original fp it was around 198K yen at launch and the EVF-11 that I acquired later was about 59K yen. Now the FP2 + EVF-21 bundle would cost close to 400K yen so the price increase is too much for me to consider it. I think it would share a lot of the quirks that the original fp + EVF-11 also have but I could have enjoyed it as a 2nd system (next to my A7CII). I would not use it much without an EVF, I've learned that shooting without an EVF is not really enjoyable for me so that's not an option. If FP2 had been priced closer to the original fp I would have been much more eager to try it out.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting the new 50/1.4 CL lens when it comes out in E-mount sometime next year.

Im very interested in the sigma fp2 for video, though there are some points im waiting to hear if they are true or not
1) 4k 60p is downsampled from 6k 60p
2) h.265 is 10-bit but 4:2:0
3) Provides gyro data itself without fpsup
4) has minimum slowest shutter speed setting applied to both video and stills (This one I personally like. I think previous ones had it too).

24 whole megapixels in 2026? No more CinemaDNG? No thanks.
The FP L is a great camera with a frustrating user interface and haptics, except for the size.
Wake me when they make an FP L mk2, thanks.

Yeah. Unless they do an update to disable this ALL HDR ALL THE TIME jpg engine, I'm not interested. My phone already does that.
I don't want to shoot raw to get around it either.

So, the camera is out and there have already been some sell listings.
If anyone has had the opportunity to test it with some M-mount lenses, please report your findings!
