Nikon S01 vs Nikon D2H

Let's look a little more closely at the Nikon S01 versus Nikon D2H, former is a Ultracompact while the other is a Pro DSLR and they are both built by Nikon. There exists a sizable gap between the resolutions of the S01 (10MP) and D2H (4MP) and the S01 (1/2.9") and D2H (APS-C) offer totally different sensor size.

The S01 was manufactured 9 years after the D2H which is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Nikon S01 being a Ultracompact camera and the Nikon D2H being a Large SLR camera.

Before we go straight to a in depth comparison, here is a short highlight of how the S01 scores vs the D2H with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix S01 & Nikon D2H. The entire galleries are viewable at Nikon S01 Gallery & Nikon D2H Gallery.

For those who are going to carry around your camera often, you have to think about its weight and measurements. The Nikon S01 enjoys physical measurements of 77mm x 52mm x 17mm (3.0" x 2.0" x 0.7") along with a weight of 96 grams (0.21 lbs) and the Nikon D2H has proportions of 158mm x 150mm x 86mm (6.2" x 5.9" x 3.4") having a weight of 1200 grams (2.65 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you use at that time. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the S01 versus the D2H.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the S01 and D2H is 97 and 51 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes simply by going over a spec sheet. The picture here will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S01 and D2H.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S01 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Nikon S01 will deliver more detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer S01 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
