Canon M100 vs Nikon 1 V1

Here is a detailed comparison of the Canon M100 versus Nikon 1 V1, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by brands Canon and Nikon. There exists a considerable gap between the sensor resolutions of the M100 (24MP) and 1 V1 (10MP) and the M100 (APS-C) and 1 V1 (1") provide different sensor sizes.

The M100 was manufactured 5 years later than the 1 V1 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the M100 grades against the 1 V1 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M100 & Nikon 1 V1. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon M100 Gallery & Nikon 1 V1 Gallery.

If you're aiming to carry your camera, you will need to factor its weight and dimensions. The Canon M100 provides outer dimensions of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") accompanied by a weight of 302 grams (0.67 lbs) and the Nikon 1 V1 has dimensions of 113mm x 76mm x 44mm (4.4" x 3.0" x 1.7") and a weight of 383 grams (0.84 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you have attached at the time. Following is a front view measurement comparison of the M100 vs the 1 V1.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M100 and 1 V1 is 88 and 84 respectively.

Typically, it is tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by reading specifications. The photograph here might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M100 and 1 V1.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M100 due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M100 will offer extra detail due to its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent M100 provides a benefit in sensor tech.
