Leica SL2-S vs Nikon S1000pj

Let's look a bit more closely at the Leica SL2-S and Nikon S1000pj, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by brands Leica and Nikon. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the SL2-S (24MP) and S1000pj (12MP) and the SL2-S (Full frame) and S1000pj (1/2.3") boast totally different sensor measurements.

The SL2-S was brought out 11 years after the S1000pj which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Leica SL2-S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Nikon S1000pj being a Compact camera.

Before delving right into a complete comparison, here is a short introduction of how the SL2-S grades against the S1000pj in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Leica SL2-S and Nikon Coolpix S1000pj. The entire galleries are available at Leica SL2-S Gallery and Nikon S1000pj Gallery.

If you're going to carry around your camera regularly, you will want to consider its weight and dimensions. The Leica SL2-S enjoys physical measurements of 146mm x 107mm x 83mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.3") with a weight of 931 grams (2.05 lbs) while the Nikon S1000pj has dimensions of 96mm x 62mm x 23mm (3.8" x 2.4" x 0.9") accompanied by a weight of 175 grams (0.39 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have chosen at that time. Underneath is a front view dimension comparison of the SL2-S against the S1000pj.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SL2-S and S1000pj is 55 and 94 respectively.

Typically, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SL2-S and S1000pj.

As you can see, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SL2-S because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Leica SL2-S will give more detail having its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more recent SL2-S will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
