The S01 was launched 2 years later than the S4100 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before getting through a complete comparison, below is a short overview of how the S01 matches up vs the S4100 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix S01 and Nikon Coolpix S4100. The complete galleries are available at Nikon S01 Gallery and Nikon S4100 Gallery.

For those who are intending to lug around your camera often, you will want to factor in its weight and measurements.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you select at that moment. The following is the front view scale comparison of the S01 compared to the S4100.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability rating of the S01 and S4100 is 97 and 99 respectively.

Generally, it's hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements just by looking at technical specs. The graphic below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S01 and S4100.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S01 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh trickier and the Nikon S4100 will give greater detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The fresher S01 provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
