Nikon 1 S2 vs Sigma Quattro H

Lets take a closer look at the Nikon 1 S2 and Sigma Quattro H, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Nikon and Sigma. There exists a considerable gap among the image resolutions of the 1 S2 (14.2MP) and Quattro H (45MP) and the 1 S2 (1") and Quattro H (APS-H) feature different sensor dimensions.

The 1 S2 was introduced 21 months prior to the Quattro H which makes the cameras a generation apart from one another. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a more detailed comparison, below is a brief summary of how the 1 S2 grades versus the Quattro H with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you choose during that time. Underneath is the front view proportions comparison of the 1 S2 vs the Quattro H.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 1 S2 and Quattro H is 93 and 78 respectively.

Normally, it is hard to visualize the difference in sensor measurements just by going through specifications. The visual here should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1 S2 and Quattro H.

Plainly, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1 S2 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will show extra detail using its extra 30.8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older 1 S2 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
