Nikon P7800 vs Nikon S1000pj

Below, we will be reviewing the Nikon P7800 and Nikon S1000pj, both Small Sensor Compact cameras and they are both offered by Nikon. The image resolution of the P7800 (12MP) and the S1000pj (12MP) is relatively close but the P7800 (1/1.7") and S1000pj (1/2.3") come with different sensor sizes.

The P7800 was unveiled 4 years later than the S1000pj and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going in to a complete comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the P7800 matches up against the S1000pj with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix P7800 and Nikon Coolpix S1000pj. The full galleries are viewable at Nikon P7800 Gallery and Nikon S1000pj Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera often, you'll need to consider its weight and proportions.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the P7800 and S1000pj is 82 and 94 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements merely by viewing specifications. The visual below will help give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the P7800 and S1000pj.

To sum up, both of those cameras have got the exact same megapixel count albeit different sensor measurements. The P7800 includes the bigger sensor which will make obtaining shallow DOF less difficult. The younger P7800 should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
