Nikon P7800 vs Pentax W60

Let's look closer at the Nikon P7800 versus Pentax W60, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by rivals Nikon and Pentax. The resolution of the P7800 (12MP) and the W60 (10MP) is very well matched but the P7800 (1/1.7") and W60 (1/2.3") posses different sensor sizes.

The P7800 was manufactured 4 years later than the W60 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before going into a more detailed comparison, here is a short overview of how the P7800 matches up versus the W60 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix P7800 & Pentax Optio W60. The entire galleries are viewable at Nikon P7800 Gallery & Pentax W60 Gallery.

If you are aiming to lug around your camera often, you will need to factor its weight and size.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you are utilising during that time. The following is a front view dimensions comparison of the P7800 and the W60.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the P7800 and W60 is 82 and 94 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements only by checking a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the P7800 and W60.

Clearly, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The P7800 due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Nikon P7800 will resolve more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The more recent P7800 should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
