Nikon 1 V1 vs Sony ZV-E10

Here, we will be reviewing the Nikon 1 V1 versus Sony ZV-E10, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by manufacturers Nikon and Sony. There is a sizeable difference among the resolutions of the 1 V1 (10MP) and ZV-E10 (24MP) and the 1 V1 (1") and ZV-E10 (APS-C) have totally different sensor sizes.

The 1 V1 was introduced 10 years prior to the ZV-E10 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a in-depth comparison, here is a short summary of how the 1 V1 grades vs the ZV-E10 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon 1 V1 and Sony ZV-E10. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon 1 V1 Gallery and Sony ZV-E10 Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera regularly, you'll need to factor its weight and measurements. The Nikon 1 V1 has external measurements of 113mm x 76mm x 44mm (4.4" x 3.0" x 1.7") accompanied by a weight of 383 grams (0.84 lbs) while the Sony ZV-E10 has proportions of 115mm x 64mm x 45mm (4.5" x 2.5" x 1.8") having a weight of 343 grams (0.76 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have attached at the time. Below is a front view measurement comparison of the 1 V1 vs the ZV-E10.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the 1 V1 and ZV-E10 is 84 and 86 respectively.

In many cases, its hard to see the gap in sensor measurements merely by checking out specifications. The graphic here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 1 V1 and ZV-E10.

Plainly, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1 V1 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony ZV-E10 will show greater detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older 1 V1 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
