FujiFilm JV100 vs Nikon P7100

Let's look a little more in depth at the FujiFilm JV100 and Nikon P7100, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by manufacturers FujiFilm and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the JV100 (12MP) and the P7100 (10MP) is fairly close but the JV100 (1/2.3") and P7100 (1/1.7") come with different sensor dimensions.

The JV100 was announced 24 months before the P7100 making the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a short summation of how the JV100 matches up versus the P7100 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

When you are planning to lug around your camera regularly, you have to factor in its weight and measurements. The FujiFilm JV100 has got external dimensions of 93mm x 55mm x 21mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.8") and a weight of 126 grams (0.28 lbs) while the Nikon P7100 has proportions of 116mm x 77mm x 48mm (4.6" x 3.0" x 1.9") with a weight of 395 grams (0.87 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have at the time. The following is the front view dimensions comparison of the JV100 against the P7100.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the JV100 and P7100 is 96 and 82 respectively.

Usually, its tough to visualize the difference in sensor measurements only by researching specifications. The photograph here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the JV100 and P7100.

Plainly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The JV100 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the FujiFilm JV100 will provide you with more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older JV100 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
