Canon S110 vs Nikon P7800

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon S110 and Nikon P7800, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by companies Canon and Nikon. The image resolution of the S110 (12MP) and the P7800 (12MP) is fairly well matched and both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions (1/1.7").

The S110 was introduced 14 months prior to the P7800 making them a generation apart from each other. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before going right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the S110 matches up against the P7800 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot S110 and Nikon Coolpix P7800. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon S110 Gallery and Nikon P7800 Gallery.

If you are looking to carry your camera frequently, you will have to take into account its weight and measurements. The Canon S110 has physical dimensions of 99mm x 59mm x 27mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.1") having a weight of 198 grams (0.44 lbs) whilst the Nikon P7800 has proportions of 119mm x 78mm x 50mm (4.7" x 3.1" x 2.0") accompanied by a weight of 399 grams (0.88 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are working with at that time. Underneath is a front view scale comparison of the S110 compared to the P7800.

Using size and weight, the portability rating of the S110 and P7800 is 93 and 82 respectively.

Generally, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S110 and P7800.

Clearly, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions and the exact same resolution so you should expect similar quality of images but you will want to factor the release date of the products into consideration. The older S110 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
