Nikon 1 V2 vs Panasonic S5 II X

Below is a extensive review of the Nikon 1 V2 versus Panasonic S5 II X, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by manufacturers Nikon and Panasonic. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the 1 V2 (14MP) and S5 II X (24MP) and the 1 V2 (1") and S5 II X (Full frame) come with different sensor sizes.

The 1 V2 was introduced 11 years prior to the S5 II X and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short highlight of how the 1 V2 matches up vs the S5 II X with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon 1 V2 and Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 Mark II X. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon 1 V2 Gallery and Panasonic S5 II X Gallery.

For anybody who is going to lug around your camera regularly, you have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements only by checking out specifications. The photograph below might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 1 V2 and S5 II X.

To sum up, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1 V2 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Panasonic S5 II X will provide greater detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older 1 V2 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
