Canon M10 vs Nikon S4300

Let's take a closer look at the Canon M10 vs Nikon S4300, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Canon and Nikon. The resolution of the M10 (18MP) and the S4300 (16MP) is very similar but the M10 (APS-C) and S4300 (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor dimensions.

The M10 was introduced 3 years after the S4300 which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon M10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Nikon S4300 being a Compact camera.

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a quick overview of how the M10 scores against the S4300 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS M10 and Nikon Coolpix S4300. The whole galleries are provided at Canon M10 Gallery and Nikon S4300 Gallery.

If you are looking to travel with your camera, you'll have to factor its weight and proportions. The Canon M10 has outside dimensions of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") and a weight of 301 grams (0.66 lbs) and the Nikon S4300 has measurements of 96mm x 59mm x 21mm (3.8" x 2.3" x 0.8") accompanied by a weight of 139 grams (0.31 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are employing during that time. Underneath is a front view dimension comparison of the M10 vs the S4300.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability rating of the M10 and S4300 is 88 and 95 respectively.

Often, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by reading technical specs. The image here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the M10 and S4300.

As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M10 having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon M10 will offer more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent M10 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
