Nikon 1 V1 vs Sony ZV-E10 Sensor Comparison
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.
