Nikon L19 vs Nikon S5300

The following is a in depth review of the Nikon L19 versus Nikon S5300, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras and they are both sold by Nikon. There exists a large gap between the resolutions of the L19 (8MP) and S5300 (16MP) and the L19 (1/2.5") and S5300 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor dimensions.

The L19 was released 5 years before the S5300 which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going in to a thorough comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the L19 grades versus the S5300 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix L19 & Nikon Coolpix S5300. The complete galleries are provided at Nikon L19 Gallery & Nikon S5300 Gallery.

When you are looking to travel with your camera, you should consider its weight and size. The Nikon L19 has got outside measurements of 97mm x 61mm x 29mm (3.8" x 2.4" x 1.1") along with a weight of 130 grams (0.29 lbs) and the Nikon S5300 has specifications of 97mm x 58mm x 21mm (3.8" x 2.3" x 0.8") having a weight of 138 grams (0.30 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are utilising at the time. Following is the front view measurements comparison of the L19 against the S5300.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the L19 and S5300 is 94 and 95 respectively.

Sometimes, it's difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by checking a spec sheet. The pic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the L19 and S5300.

As you can see, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The L19 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Nikon S5300 will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged L19 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
