There are two reasons to buy the fp : much higher ISO in colour, and being able to use manual-focus lenses from film SLRs.

If neither of those matter to you, then I think the sdQH is a better camera for still photography. However, it might be good to get an MC-21 soon while it's still available, so that you can buy an L mount camera in the future. SA cameras have no long term future.

I bought the fp to use alongside the sdQH, as I have a number of old lenses that I like. It's a fun camera, but realistically the sensors are not yet ready for use without a shutter. (Sony have a newer sensor in the AI that is much faster, and I expect to see fp models that can work properly with flash in a year or three.)
