Canon M100 vs Nikon 1 V1 Sensor Comparison

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.
