Nikon 1 V2 vs Panasonic G95

Lets examine more in depth at the Nikon 1 V2 and Panasonic G95, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Nikon and Panasonic. There is a significant difference among the resolutions of the 1 V2 (14MP) and G95 (20.3MP) and the 1 V2 (1") and G95 (Four Thirds) use different sensor dimensions.

The 1 V2 was released 7 years before the G95 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a concise overview of how the 1 V2 grades versus the G95 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon 1 V2 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G95. The complete galleries are viewable at Nikon 1 V2 Gallery and Panasonic G95 Gallery.

When you are planning to lug around your camera, you will want to think about its weight and size.

Usually, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing specifications. The visual underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 1 V2 and G95.

To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1 V2 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic G95 will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 6.3MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The older 1 V2 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
