Nikon L24 vs Panasonic LF1

Its time to take a deeper look at the Nikon L24 vs Panasonic LF1, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by manufacturers Nikon and Panasonic. The image resolution of the L24 (14MP) and the LF1 (12MP) is very similar but the L24 (1/2.3") and LF1 (1/1.7") provide totally different sensor measurements.

The L24 was introduced 3 years prior to the LF1 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before getting straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the L24 scores versus the LF1 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix L24 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1. The whole galleries are available at Nikon L24 Gallery and Panasonic LF1 Gallery.

In case you're looking to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and measurements. The Nikon L24 comes with outer dimensions of 98mm x 61mm x 28mm (3.9" x 2.4" x 1.1") with a weight of 182 grams (0.40 lbs) and the Panasonic LF1 has proportions of 103mm x 62mm x 28mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.1") along with a weight of 192 grams (0.42 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have at that moment. Here is a front view size comparison of the L24 compared to the LF1.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the L24 and LF1 is 93 and 92 respectively.

More often than not, it's hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reading specs. The graphic below might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the L24 and LF1.

All in all, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The L24 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Nikon L24 will offer greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The older L24 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
