Nikon P600 vs Nikon S30

Let's look a little more in depth at the Nikon P600 and Nikon S30, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Small Sensor Compact and both are created by Nikon. There is a huge difference among the image resolutions of the P600 (16MP) and S30 (10MP) and the P600 (1/2.3") and S30 (1/3") feature different sensor dimensions.

The P600 was introduced 2 years later than the S30 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Nikon P600 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Nikon S30 being a Compact camera.

Before delving in to a complete comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the P600 matches up against the S30 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix P600 and Nikon Coolpix S30. The whole galleries are viewable at Nikon P600 Gallery and Nikon S30 Gallery.

If you're planning to carry your camera often, you are going to need to factor its weight and size. The Nikon P600 offers external dimensions of 125mm x 85mm x 107mm (4.9" x 3.3" x 4.2") accompanied by a weight of 565 grams (1.25 lbs) whilst the Nikon S30 has specifications of 102mm x 65mm x 40mm (4.0" x 2.6" x 1.6") along with a weight of 214 grams (0.47 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising at the time. Here is the front view size comparison of the P600 compared to the S30.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the P600 and S30 is 65 and 90 respectively.

Usually, it's difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizing only by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the P600 and S30.

As you can see, each of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The P600 with its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Nikon P600 will render greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent P600 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
