Nikon 1 J4 vs Samsung NX11

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Nikon 1 J4 vs Samsung NX11, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by rivals Nikon and Samsung. The image resolution of the 1 J4 (18MP) and the NX11 (15MP) is relatively comparable but the 1 J4 (1") and NX11 (APS-C) have different sensor sizes.

The 1 J4 was released 3 years later than the NX11 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Nikon 1 J4 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX11 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight to a in depth comparison, here is a quick view of how the 1 J4 matches up versus the NX11 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon 1 J4 and Samsung NX11. The complete galleries are available at Nikon 1 J4 Gallery and Samsung NX11 Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry your camera regularly, you are going to need to factor its weight and measurements. The Nikon 1 J4 provides outer measurements of 100mm x 60mm x 29mm (3.9" x 2.4" x 1.1") with a weight of 232 grams (0.51 lbs) and the Samsung NX11 has proportions of 123mm x 87mm x 40mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 1.6") and a weight of 499 grams (1.10 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the 1 J4 and the NX11.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 1 J4 and NX11 is 92 and 80 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by checking out specs. The photograph here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 1 J4 and NX11.

All in all, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 1 J4 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh harder and the Nikon 1 J4 will show more detail as a result of its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The newer 1 J4 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
