Canon M vs Nikon P1000

Below is a complete assessment of the Canon M versus Nikon P1000, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by rivals Canon and Nikon. The image resolution of the M (18MP) and the P1000 (16MP) is relatively close but the M (APS-C) and P1000 (1/2.3") have different sensor sizing.

The M was revealed 7 years before the P1000 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon M being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Nikon P1000 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go into a more detailed comparison, here is a quick view of how the M scores against the P1000 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you're going to lug around your camera frequently, you will have to factor its weight and volume. The Canon M provides exterior measurements of 109mm x 66mm x 32mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.3") accompanied by a weight of 298 grams (0.66 lbs) whilst the Nikon P1000 has sizing of 146mm x 119mm x 181mm (5.7" x 4.7" x 7.1") and a weight of 1415 grams (3.12 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you select at the time. The following is a front view measurement comparison of the M versus the P1000.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the M and P1000 is 89 and 49 respectively.

Generally, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by looking through a spec sheet. The visual underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M and P1000.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Canon M will result in extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older M will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
