Nikon 1 V1 vs Sigma fp L

Its time to look a bit more closely at the Nikon 1 V1 vs Sigma fp L, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Nikon and Sigma. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the 1 V1 (10MP) and fp L (61MP) and the 1 V1 (1") and fp L (Full frame) feature different sensor size.

The 1 V1 was brought out 10 years prior to the fp L and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving through a in-depth comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the 1 V1 scores vs the fp L when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon 1 V1 and Sigma fp L. The entire galleries are provided at Nikon 1 V1 Gallery and Sigma fp L Gallery.

More often than not, it's difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The graphic here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 1 V1 and fp L.

As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1 V1 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp L will give more detail having its extra 51 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older 1 V1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
