Leica SL vs Nikon S1000pj

Its time to look a little more closely at the Leica SL versus Nikon S1000pj, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by brands Leica and Nikon. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the SL (24MP) and S1000pj (12MP) and the SL (Full frame) and S1000pj (1/2.3") offer different sensor dimensions.

The SL was brought out 6 years after the S1000pj which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Leica SL being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Nikon S1000pj being a Compact camera.

Before going into a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick overview of how the SL scores vs the S1000pj in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica SL and Nikon Coolpix S1000pj. The entire galleries are viewable at Leica SL Gallery and Nikon S1000pj Gallery.

If you're planning to travel with your camera frequently, you're going to have to think about its weight and volume.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are working with at that time. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the SL vs the S1000pj.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the SL and S1000pj is 67 and 94 respectively.

Generally, its difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SL and S1000pj.

As you can see, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SL featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Leica SL will resolve extra detail having its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent SL should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
