Kodak S-1 vs Nikon S01

Its time to take a deeper look at the Kodak S-1 and Nikon S01, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Ultracompact by brands Kodak and Nikon. There exists a sizeable gap between the image resolutions of the S-1 (16MP) and S01 (10MP) and the S-1 (Four Thirds) and S01 (1/2.9") feature different sensor size.

The S-1 was unveiled 13 months later than the S01 which makes the cameras a generation apart from one another. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Kodak S-1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Nikon S01 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before diving through a detailed comparison, below is a brief summary of how the S-1 grades against the S01 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Kodak Pixpro S-1 and Nikon Coolpix S01. The full galleries are provided at Kodak S-1 Gallery and Nikon S01 Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to lug around your camera, you are going to need to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Kodak S-1 has got external dimensions of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") and a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs) whilst the Nikon S01 has dimensions of 77mm x 52mm x 17mm (3.0" x 2.0" x 0.7") having a weight of 96 grams (0.21 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are using at that moment. Underneath is the front view overall size comparison of the S-1 versus the S01.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S-1 and S01 is 88 and 97 respectively.

Normally, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the S-1 and S01.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S-1 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Kodak S-1 will resolve greater detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots much more aggressively. The newer S-1 should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
