Let's examine more closely at the Nikon 1 AW1 and Panasonic G1, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by companies Nikon and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the 1 AW1 (14MP) and the G1 (12MP) is pretty well matched but the 1 AW1 (1") and G1 (Four Thirds) use different sensor measurements.

The 1 AW1 was announced 4 years after the G1 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Nikon 1 AW1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a thorough comparison, below is a brief summation of how the 1 AW1 matches up vs the G1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon 1 AW1 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon 1 AW1 Gallery and Panasonic G1 Gallery.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising at that time. Following is the front view over all size comparison of the 1 AW1 compared to the G1.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 1 AW1 and G1 is 86 and 82 respectively.

Sometimes, it is tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes merely by checking technical specs. The image here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1 AW1 and G1.

As you have seen, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 1 AW1 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon 1 AW1 will give you greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern 1 AW1 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
