Nikon P100 vs Panasonic FZ1000

Below, we will be analyzing the Nikon P100 versus Panasonic FZ1000, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Large Sensor Superzoom by brands Nikon and Panasonic. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the P100 (10MP) and FZ1000 (20MP) and the P100 (1/2.3") and FZ1000 (1") enjoy different sensor dimensions.

The P100 was manufactured 4 years earlier than the FZ1000 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving in to a thorough comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the P100 scores vs the FZ1000 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have chosen at that moment. The following is the front view sizing comparison of the P100 vs the FZ1000.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the P100 and FZ1000 is 68 and 55 respectively.

More often than not, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading through technical specs. The image below will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the P100 and FZ1000.

As you have seen, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The P100 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Panasonic FZ1000 will resolve extra detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged P100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
