Leica V-Lux 4 vs Nikon P1000

Lets look a bit more in depth at the Leica V-Lux 4 versus Nikon P1000, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by manufacturers Leica and Nikon. There exists a considerable gap among the sensor resolutions of the V-Lux 4 (12MP) and P1000 (16MP) but they use the same exact sensor size (1/2.3").

The V-Lux 4 was announced 6 years before the P1000 which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving in to a thorough comparison, below is a brief view of how the V-Lux 4 grades vs the P1000 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica V-Lux 4 & Nikon Coolpix P1000. The whole galleries are viewable at Leica V-Lux 4 Gallery & Nikon P1000 Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry around your camera, you'll need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Leica V-Lux 4 provides outside measurements of 125mm x 87mm x 110mm (4.9" x 3.4" x 4.3") having a weight of 588 grams (1.30 lbs) whilst the Nikon P1000 has proportions of 146mm x 119mm x 181mm (5.7" x 4.7" x 7.1") along with a weight of 1415 grams (3.12 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you have attached at that moment. Here is the front view dimensions comparison of the V-Lux 4 vs the P1000.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the V-Lux 4 and P1000 is 65 and 49 respectively.

More often than not, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes merely by checking out a spec sheet. The pic underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the V-Lux 4 and P1000.

Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Nikon P1000 to provide extra detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 4 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
